2 SeniorAdvice.com Scholarship Opportunities For Student Caregivers and Volunteers

By Megan (Weyrauch) Johnson on March 3, 2016

Because they believe in the value of advanced education for those who give back to the elderly community, SeniorAdvice.com is offering two $1,000 scholarships to students who will be enrolled in a college or university for the Fall of 2016 academic semester, according to a recent press release.

A leading resource for housing solutions and advice for seniors, SeniorAdvice.com believes students should be honored for their devotion to elderly seniors, understanding there is a lot to be learned from spending time and energy in the senior community. The website is offering one scholarship for a student caregiver and one scholarship for a student volunteer.

A $1,000 SeniorAdvice Caregiver Scholarship will go to an eligible student who has been a caregiver for an adult relative, and a $1,000 SeniorAdvice Volunteer Scholarship will go to a second eligible student who has served as a volunteer in a senior living community within the past year. These scholarships can be used towards tuition and/or books.

Interested students can apply for one or both scholarships by emailing the appropriate information including the two completed questions, a copy of transcript and video file or essay to scholarship@senioradvice.com.
