Posted by Alica Jenyns in University and College Reviews | Tags :End February, February |

Free money for college! Did that get your attention? These college scholarship opportunities end in February! You may also notice a common theme: community service. If you aren’t involved in something that you care about in and around your community, you might want  to start!

Not only do college admissions and scholarship awards committees love to see it, but it’s fun, a way to give something back, and can even help you realize a new passion or interest. Before you apply for these scholarships, be sure to check out My College Guides scholarship application tips!

Best Teen Chef Competition – Slice and dice! If a culinary career is in your future, check out the annual teen chef competition at participating Art Institutes (there’s a list onsite). High school seniors compete for a chance at winning part of the $200,000 tuition scholarships just waiting to be awarded. So get in the kitchen and start practicing!

STOP Hunger Scholarship – Food pantry. Soup kitchen. Have you been there, done that, and have plenty of documented unpaid hours of volunteering to match? Open to students through graduate school, this scholarship awards those who are helping in the fight against hunger: special consideration if you focus on fighting child hunger. Up to five students will be chosen to win $5,000 for college as well as a donation made in their name to a local hunger-related charity. We call that a definite win/win.

KFC Scholars – Are you driven? Do you have an entrepreneurial spirit, need financial help to get to college, and are greatly involved in your community? Apply for your chance to snag this scholarship that pays up to $20,000 in order for you to complete your Bachelor’s Degree. Now that’s an application worth filling out!

NLHA Education Fund Scholarships – Do you live in a low income property or receive Section 8 voucher assistance? The National Leased Housing Association offers up four different types of scholarships, the AIMCO Cares Scholarship, the William F. Gandert Memorial Scholarship, the Mary Lou Manzie Memorial Scholarship, and and the Neil Churchill Memorial Scholarship. Choose the best match for your situation: applicants may only apply to one of them! P.S. Community service can help you out here, too.

Best Buy’s@15m Scholarship Program – How does up to $1000 towards your college education sound? Best Buy is handing out 1200 college scholarships for community-oriented high school students. They will be checking out not only your volunteer efforts, but your academic accomplishments and your work experience. Let your accomplishments work for you!
