$10,000 Scholarship Contest from the Student Loan Network

The Student Loan Network is giving away $10,000 for school yet again! For those of you who aren’t familiar with this drawing…keep reading.

To enter the scholarship drawing you must be an undergraduate or graduate student, currently (or soon to be) enrolled full time in an educational institution. See terms and conditions for all the official rules. I think the greatest thing about this contest is how short the entry form is. It takes about 20 seconds (give or take, depending on your typing skills), and you don’t have to submit an essay or provide any recommendations. Just fill out your basic info, click submit, and you are entered. To see how short the entry form is click HERE! Now there is a way to increase your odds of winning. When you sign up for the drawing, you are automatically becoming a member of the Scholarship Points community. ScholarshipPoints.com is a website where you can complete various activities, which gives you more points, which in turn, gives you more entries for the scholarship drawing. It is up to you whether you want to increase your chances, but either way just by filling out that quick form you have one guaranteed entry for the contest. No gimmicks. For real guys…Good luck! OH, and last time I checked, grad school was not cheap, so I think every grad student (and undergrad, AND high school seniors) can spare the 20 seconds, and fill out the entry form.

Here are some recent winners of our monthly scholarship drawings:
