$500 Courage to Grow Scholarship and Other $1,500-$10,000 Monthly Scholarships

$500 Courage to Grow Scholarship, Awarded monthly.

Eligibility: Students must be U.S. citizens who are juniors or seniors in high school or college students with a minimum GPA of 2.5 or better. Answer the scholarship question of why you deserve this scholarship in 250 words or less.

If you can’t write for the August 31 deadline, try for the September 30 deadline.

Helpful suggestions:

Check the website for information on what the Courage to Grow Scholarship is about and how the organization awards the scholarship. I am guessing if you are a freshman in your first semester of college, then consider your GPA from your last semester in high school. (You could even contact the scholarship organizers to ask them this question.)

Since you are writing about yourself, you most likely won’t use the word you (2^nd person), but use I and me (1^st person) or when talking about others, their names or identities and third person pronouns (for example, father, mother, Mom, Dad, he, she, his, her, etc).

You can see who has won in the past and what they wrote. Be inspired, but don’t copy: https://couragetogrowscholarship.com/award-recipients/
