Tips and Suggestions for Winning:
This is a sweepstakes scholarship. We enter these because they are quick and easy, as long as the sponsor is a legitimate organization, like this one. We don’t plan on winning sweepstakes scholarships to pay for school. Sweepstakes scholarships are just a nice bonus if we win. The one downside to entering sweepstakes scholarships is that they sometimes increase the amount of spam in your inbox.
To reduce the amount of spam you receive, and to keep your scholarship and college applications easy to organize, I suggest using a dedicated email account just for college-related matters. For those still in high school, I also suggest that the account be one that is shared by both the student and the parent/guardian, so that both can stay on top of the scholarship process. Because college and scholarship applications contain personal information, it’s important that you keep your data safe and secure. That is why I recommend ProtonMail.
