Grants to Individuals Online database—a little known source and $1,000 Active Life Scholarship, Deadline: May 31, 2017 and Two More Scholarships

May 31, 2017

Grants to Individuals Online database

There is a little known resource called Grants to Individual Online database, accessible to students and others through Funding Information Network Locations.

If you happen to be in Nashville, TN, this summer, then the Nashville Public Library at 615 Church St, Nashville, TN 37219,Phone: (615) 862-5800 is one of those locations.

http://grantspace.org/find-us

By putting in your zip code at the website at the above link, you can find libraries or places you can go to access this database.

Have the librarians teach you everything that  the Grants to Individual Online database has available.

http://gtionline.foundationcenter.org/–This is the official page to look once you get to one of those libraries. I believe if one of these libraries aren’t close to you, it costs about $20 to access for one month.

Topic

Since it was created, the internet has both helped and complicated the rise of entrepreneurship. How would you leverage the internet to develop a business? In addition, how would you manage the increased competition and other complexities that an online marketplace produces?”

Tips for Scholarship Submission Success

  1. You should double check for typos and grammatical errors. Remember, not everything will be underlined in red!
  2. Your essay should stay on the topic provided. Other topics will not be considered.
  3. Use real life examples if you have them. We’d love to hear how this has impacted you directly.
  4. Your essay should be roughly 500-700 words.”

My point is, look within the Additional Scholarships for April and Additional Scholarships for May.

Also, on the left hand side, search for Scholarships by Category; such as Adult Learners, The Arts, Ethnicity, LGBT, Middle School, Military, STEM, Special Needs, and Study Abroad.
