Guide to Online Schools Study Abroad Scholarship

Guide to Online Schools provides a new type of financial aid resource with its unconventional scholarship program. Instead of choosing applicants based on the usual measures of success -- GPA, SAT scores, community involvement, etc.-- our scholarship program rewards students for their natural creativity and analytical thinking.

To provide our judges with a true understanding of each applicant, he or she must answer four open-ended, personal, and thought-provoking questions. The students whose responses are the most persuasive, compelling, and well-written, as judged by our panel, will be awarded the scholarship prize.
