The Michael Shah Scholarship Program is now accepting submissions from post-secondary and soon-to-be post-secondary students who require financial assistance in pursuit of their academic goals and dreams.
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / November 17, 2020 / Competition is now open and underway for the four financial prizes offered by the newly-established Michael Shah Scholarship Program. Three prizes of one thousand dollars and one prize of two thousand dollars will soon be released to four worthy students, pending judgment of their applications.
The Michael Shah Scholarship Program was created to encourage and give aid to promising, hard-working students who have been disproportionately affected by the recent economic downturn prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The outbreak and spread of COVID-19 has caused unemployment rates to rise precipitously in the United States and Canada over the last nine months, causing substantial financial hardships for high school and post-secondary students who are often the first to lose their jobs. The Michael Shah Scholarship Program recognizes that, for a great deal of students, pursuing an academic career without some kind of employment or access to a steady income is a near-impossibility. After all, tuition, lodgings, and course materials are far from inexpensive. The financial prizes offered by the Michael Shah Scholarship Program aim to mitigate these costs, if only partially.
Outside of producing a formal letter of acceptance from a legitimately recognized institution of higher learning, all entrants have to do in order to qualify for the prizes is compose a five hundred word essay that meets two simple criteria. First, it must explicitly demonstrate the student's need for financial assistance. Second, it must detail an intended long-term career path after graduation. The competition is open to all post-secondary students studying within North America. The deadline for applications is February 28, 2021.
Good luck to all those who apply!
