Free undergrad degree! - cookderosa - 12-03-2009
This is not a distance option, but check this out! In my community, we have the home campus for Ashford University (they also offer online degrees). Anyway, they have decided to award scholarships based on your GPA (high school for new grads or college for transfer students).
This scholarship applies ONLY to the on campus degree. The college costs $15K per year.
If your GPA is 3-3.24 you get $10,000
If your GPA is 3.25-3.49 you get $12,500
but if your GPA is over 3.5 it's a FULL RIDE! They are also offering anyone who qualifies for the full ride a chance to apply for a full ride housing scholarship. In otherwords, this is a totally free degree and totally free housing! HELLO this is awesome!
They accept CLEP, they are a CLEP testing center, and they only have a 30 credit residency requirement.
The college is located in Clinton Iowa. If you are interested, I have a pdf document of the scholarship, for some reason I can't upload it and it is burried in their website, so just email me and I'll send it to you. [email protected]
Deadline is January and if you come out this way I'd love to share a cup of coffee with you

If I were only 20 years younger my 3.5 GPA (thanks to TESC and the few courses I took at the local CC) would come in handy...

I just used the link and found this in the middle of the requirements:
Scholarship applications for the Fall 2010 class must be postmarked by Nov. 23, 2009.
:confused:

I spoke to them twice today, that was the previous deadline but they extended it for spring! It's not too late! AND, get this- the advisor told me that by maintaining the 3.5 this scholarship automatically renews as long as you are enrolled. He also told me that it only applies to the class you start in, so if you drop out and try to come back later it won't work.

HI, is the scholarship still available?
I heard about this, is it only for working moms and dads?
