(Vocus/PRWEB) January 05, 2011
BestTravelDeals. net, the world’s only social media platform for travel deals, is excited to announce a new travel scholarship opportunity for U. S. college students. Beginning in 2011, BestTravelDeals. net will provide one travel scholarship of $1000 to a student who demonstrates high academic achievement, and understands the importance of travel in our everyday lives. The scholarship will be offered annually, allowing more students to spread their academic wings, without having to worry about costly travel expenses.
Colleges and universities across the country offer a variety of travel abroad programs, which can significantly enhance a student’s educational experience, and set him or her apart from other graduates.
Unfortunately, such programs are not always funded, and require that the student provides for their own living or traveling accommodations. The Best Travel Deals Travel Scholarship aims to help make traveling abroad more accessible. The money may be used for a plane ticket to Japan, the first month’s rent for a dormitory in England, or to purchase food and other necessities while living in Italy. No matter where a student chooses to study, the scholarship can turn a travel abroad dream into a reality.
Applying for the Best Travel Deals Travel Scholarship is easy. To be considered, students must submit an online application to Best Travel Deals with an attached essay submission. The essay, which is not to exceed 1200 words, should address why travel is important. The writing may reflect upon a past travel experience, and must clearly state how travel has, or could, enrich the educational experience. All applicants must be enrolled full time in an accredited college or university as an undergraduate student. The chosen recipient will be asked to provide proof of enrollment prior to obtaining the funds.
Students interested in the Best Travel Deals Travel Scholarship should submit the requested materials no later than 5 p. m. EST on Monday, March 14. Please visit Best Travel Deals for complete requirements, or to fill out an application.
