General Motors gives scholarship money despite bankruptcy

Even on the verge of bankruptcy, General Motors has teamed up with the Hispanic Scholarship Fund to dish out new scholarships.

That's right, this giant company that can no longer keep its own employees or pay its debt still wants to give you free money. In fact, there are tons of scholarships out there sponsored by almost defunct organizations. Take AIG for example.

But unlike the bulk of the taxpayer dollars being spent to keep these sinking boats afloat, you can win some back through scholarships.

When a company that can't pay its bills is dishing out money for scholarships, I think it finally hits you that there are a good amount of scholarships just waiting for you to claim. All you need to do is be persistent and hard working about it. Don't be lazy like the rest. Fight for this money wherever you can find it, even if its taxpayer dollars (and most of it is in one shape or form).

So what are you waiting for, click here to check the scholarship details and win your tax money back!

I won't say the deadline because then you will procrastinate, but the application requires online registration and there is no reason to wait.

Remember When it comes to scholarships, it's just a matter of identifying, qualifying, and applying. Read my previous posts for more.
