We’re Now Offering Quarterly Scholarships! Fall 2008 Scholarship Available Now!
Posted: September 2nd, 2008
We offered the first OP Loftbed $500 Scholarship Award back in 2002. It’s hard to believe that was seven years ago! We had such a great time that first year, that it became an annual tradition for us. We just keep having more and more fun each year we do it and we can tell that our scholarship applicants do also.
We’ve been talking around headquarters about how to have even more fun with our scholarship. We’ve decide to offer our scholarship quarterly! This means that instead of having a new winner each August, we’ll now have winners in November, February, and May as well. It also means that we’ll be giving away $2,000 a year instead of just $500. And if you don’t win one quarter, you’ll still have an opportunity to win the next quarter.
We plan to continue asking different questions for each contest. The questions for this year’s scholarship are:
- Which celebrity would you most like to see as President of the United States and why?
- If you could teach the world one thing–based on your knowledge, talents, and skills that you have right now–what would it be and why?
- What is your best personal productivity or time management tip?
- If you could spray paint something on the side of a bridge, and wouldn’t get in trouble for it, what would you write or draw?
The Fall 2008 Scholarship Application will only be available until October 31, 2008, submit your answers soon!
I am glad to here you are continuing the tradition you are helping lots of kids keep up the good work.
This sounds like a great idea but where do I find more infomation about the quarterly scholarships?
Janell – All the information about our scholarship programs are available in the scholarship area: http://www.oploftbed.com/scholarship/
This is very helpful, but I’ve been searching the website and cannot find when I will be allowed to apply for the Fall 2009 scholarship.
Thank you
