“WANTED: Students who are paying a lot for tuition”

We know that the costs of university education are high and we are always trying to find ways to make and save money. Students usually resort to getting a job to pay off all the expenses, but scholarships, awards and grants can be another resource. Yes, the application process may be cumbersome, but often there are large amounts of money to be given away to creative, intelligent and active students.

Ogrant.com, an online grant service, is doing grants differently. They offer students new ways of funding for their education. With Ogrant.com, say no more to long and boring typed applications! Submit videos, pictures and other forms of content that show talent and creativity and let the Ogrant student community decide whether you are worthy enough for an Ogrant. It’s fun, interactive and you are publicizing something you are already good at.

Currently, they are offering two scholarships for Canadians for the Fall 2007 term.

1. The ScholarshipsCanada.com Ogrant

      Award amount: Two (2) $1000 grants
      Deadline: November 23 2007 @ 6pm

2. The TakingITGlobal Ogrant
   Award amount: One (1) $1000 grant
   Deadline: November 9 2007 @ 6pm http://www.ogrant.com/OgrantInfo.aspx?oid=13
   
   

Take advantage of this great opportunity and laugh straight to the bank. You might just be $1000 richer just by submitting a picture about you thoughts on Canada’s role in the world today or a video about why you should receive an award. It can’t get any easier than that! Visit www.ogrant.com and see what all the buzz is about. Trust me, you will never look at grants the same way again!
