Equals6 Scholarship Offers

By Uloop Archives on July 26, 2013

With the fall semester starting up again next month, students are scrambling for money to pay for yet another year of expensive tuition and college fees. (This is not an okay to freak out). But I have good news! Student social networking site, Equals6, is willing to help with tuition. Offering a new scholarship, Top Talent Scholarship Crowdfunding, you can compete for scholarships, discover career opportunities, and connect with other students, employers, and alumni.

“Equals6 has awarded more than $40,000 in scholarships to students across North America since 2010 and will be contributing a $50 bonus to successfully funded campaigns,” as reported on UWIRE.

Somewhat interested? Try crowdfunding, where the company “[gives] students the chance to share their stories and raise much-needed funds for school…network and pool their money.”

Create a personal account, customize your profile, select the time frame you wish to raise x amount of dollars by, and enter in your primary financial goal. The website allows you to share the link of your profile page and actively promote the page to other websites where friends and family can easily donate, read your focus statement, watch your campaign video, look at your education, achievements, accomplishments, skills, and future career goals.

This educational opportunity is great since “students are looking for creative ways to pay for school,” CEO of Equals6, Andy Osburn says.

It is important to note, however, that a minimum  of $100 must be collected in the end, otherwise, the donations will not be released for 90 days, and the company will work with the student to raise the appropriate amount of money. When you do receive the suitable funds, they money is then delivered directly to the university or college identified by the student when setting up the account.

You can also donate a minimum of $10 to crowdfunded pooled scholarships, which allow students to compete for a monetary reward.

But there’s more to Equals6 than scholarships. According to UWIRE, “Equals6 also serves as a social meeting place where students form groups, share ideas and hold lively discussions.” There are partnerships with several employers to offer students with career options.
