if I get this $500.00, I will add one more class on the fall semester.

College is so expensive. I am already in so much debt and now I am going back and I can barley afford it. If I had this money I would put it towards paying for books!

You are all talking like maybe you will NOT get the money. The ad says they will give it to anyone who visits today. I hope that's true, because i really need this money. I mean.. that's potentialy a lot of money they are giving away.. but i don't think this site would mislead its users?

Sorry to say, but the ad was a bit misleading. You need to read the entry article [http://www.fastweb.com/college-scholarships/articles/1315-login-to-...] which is found on the front page. But here is the most important bit of information:

3. PRIZES/ODDS: One (1) Grand Prize will be awarded, a cash prize in the amount of $500. Approximate retail value of each prize is: $500. ALL EXPENSES, TAXES AND COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ACCEPTANCE AND USE OF PRIZES NOT SET FORTH IN THESE RULES ARE THE OBLIGATION OF THE WINNER. Any prize won by an eligible minor will be awarded in the name of a parent or legal guardian. Prizes are not transferable, except at discretion of Sponsor. Prizes are awarded WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND from Sponsor, express or implied, without limitation. Total Approximate Retail Value of all Prizes is $500.

4. DRAWING: A random drawing will take place on or about 07/11/2009 and the potential winner will be selected from all eligible entries received. The potential winner will be notified by email, telephone, overnight carrier or regular mail within approximately ten (10) days of the drawing. If Sponsor is unable to contact the potential winner after reasonable effort, or if the potential winner fail to respond within three days of first attempted notification, prize may be forfeited and awarded to an alternate winner.

So...yeah, it is a bit misleading. They advertised that EVERYONE would win, when, in all reality, everyone has a CHANCE to win.

 happy 4th of july let freedom ring

I always apply for scholarships and I never get one.  I would be very happy to get $500 extra to pay for my books.

I feel as though there are alot of scholarships out there, we all just dont have the time or patience to fill out all the paperwork.

The Grant of $500 will help me to achieve a degree in the Physical Therapy Assistant Program at Sale Lake Community College. I will achieve better academic results by using the Grant to purchase Computer equipment and software needed to accommodate my physical disability due to a Traumatic Brain Injury I suffered 5 years ago. I will be able to share my endurance and positive attitude regarding achieving in the face of discouraging circumstances, with those who are also suffering from physical injuries.

I volunteered as a Clergy Member for a Utah Youth Correction Facility for several years. I lead Sunday Services and a mentorship night weekly. I helped mentor the young people with motivational discussions, church services, picnics, games, and activity nights.

I received the “Hero’s Among Us – Volunteer Award given for Outstanding Volunteer Service” from the Utah Division of Youth Corrections.

$500....  buy me a new laptop

May God bless each one of you guys today!  Have a wonderful and safe Independence Day as you blow stuff up in celebration of our FREEDOM!!! :)  I would like to thank our Lord for that freedom, as without Him, we'd all be slaves to sin and death and satan!  But how awesome is it that He gave His own life in place of ours so that we could be truly free?!  Thank You, Lord Jesus, for Your Word:

Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in Him, "If you continue in My Word, you are truly My disciples.  And you will  know the truth, and the truth will set you free."  (John 8:31-32)

The $500 would definitely help in the bills. 

Books alone can take up to $500, so this would be very, very helpful.

I will use this money to pay for my announcements, cap and gown.

They sent one email saying everyone would win $500, then they sent a correction email saying that everyone would be entered to win $500 and only one person would win.

$500 would almost cover my half-day tuition for community college this semester. That doesn't include the full tuition my private High-school is making us pay, although I'm only going a half-day for my senior year.

Wow! This scholarship would definitely buy me lunch for summer school and my  graphics calculator.  Those things are expensive!! HAPPY 4th OF JULY!
