Great opportunity for women seeking a full tuition scholarship for an undergraduate degree in science, engineering, or math, funded by Cards Against Humanity.   The ideal candidate will be an ambassador for their field. They are looking for someone passionate about discovery who shares their excitement with others.
To apply, submit a three–minute video of yourself explaining a topic in science you are passionate about.

• Deliver a mini lecture, not a personal statement, as if you are teaching or lecturing an audience.
• Don’t spend lots of time introducing yourself—just jump right into your topic.
• Your video should be three minutes, no longer.
• You can discuss any topic in science you like, not necessarily your field of study.
• Upload the video to YouTube or Vimeo, and make sure the video is set to public.

Eligibility

Please note that you must be in college in fall of 2017 to be eligible. The videos will be reviewed by a board of sixty women who hold higher degrees and work professionally in science and engineering.

Cappex- Seriously important site for high school students to look at - tons of links scholarships

What:  College & Scholarship Information

Website:  Cappex

Cost:  Free 

Why:  Why not-  This offers a huge list of scholarships as well as complete information on College Searches and requirements.  

So far I am fairly impressed with this site.  Even though I entered my 12 year old daughter's birth date in the system it would accept it - I am guessing you need to be in high school to actually sign up for an account. I created an account for myself and that I would graduate fairly soon.  It offers a comprehensive search on colleges and their requirements for getting into their college.  The thing I loved most about this site it that there is an abundant amount of information that links to numerous valid scholarships.  While I have 3 children that will be attending college during the same years (twins +1--everything times 3), we will need all the help we can get.  I am definitely bookmarking this to revisit when it is time.  Highly recommended for those with college aged students.
