ESA Foundation

Paying for College
1

<p>So you always hear to be wary of scholarships with app fees... the ESA Foundation requires a $5 app fee , but it seems pretty legit to me. Anyone have any ideas or past experiences with them. please hurry cuz deadline is Feb 1st, haha. heres the website if you want </p>

<p>It seems legit to me too, and I'm applying for it too I think, unless people here say not to. I saw a site that addressed this ques where they listed a bunch of scholarships that require a small fee but which they think are still legit, including this scholarship.</p>

<p>A lot of different sources say the Epsilon Sigma Alpha foundation is a valid organization.</p>

<p>great thanks bumblebee. good luck with your app. </p>

<p>but it kinda bugs me that we have to apply to each one seperately w/ their own transcripts, $5, recs, etc. hopefully it will be worth it. do you have any idea how competitive these things are?</p>

5

<p>I have no idea how competitive it is. It is weird that we need 3 copies of everything in the same envelope and I think that's gonna confuse my counselor. Good luck to you too!</p>

6

<p>Don't apply for it. Their scholarships are very competitive, and you must pay them $5, which kinda sucks to me.</p>

7

<p>how do you define very competitive vtoodler? have you applied previously?haha idk its just such a simple application to submit (minus the five bucks haha)</p>

<p>Five bucks isn't much to pay if theres a chance to win 1,000!
It's like a lottery- with a little better chance of winning. And my mom buys lottery tickets. And kids are supposed to learn from their parents. And.. get ittt?</p>

<p>Plus I spent an hour writing their essay so that'd be a big waste of time if I don't apply now.</p>

9

<p>haha you are too right. we are getting good practice for our gambling habits with all is scholarship nonsense</p>

10

<p>they recieve thousands of applications. that's how I know it's competitive. They only give a handful of awards. In the state of Missouri, which is my state, they only give about 8 awards although they recieve over 1000 applications. To me, it's just not worth it.</p>

11

<p>so they can't go in separate envelopes?</p>

12

<p>Not sure how competitve, but worth it. My D received a $500 scholarship from them.</p>

<p>Can anyone post who has won this one plz?</p>
