Bottar Leone Scholarship Transitioning from high school to college can be overwhelming for any student. Having represented injured children for more than three decades – many of whom have lifetime special needs – the medical malpractice and personal injury lawyers of Bottar Law, PLLC know, first-hand, that the transition for a student with a physical or learning disability is often more difficult. In the collegiate environment, a student with a physical or learning disability must make a number of difficult and complicated decisions, including whether to e.g., disclose the specifics of his/her disability, request special accommodations in the classroom, or request other types of campus assistance. In addition, paying for college can provide different challenges, as students with physical or learning disabilities may need to purchase special equipment or hire private tutors to facilitate their collegiate learning experience. Typically, students with disabilities do not receive special financial aid consideration from the federal government. Through the Bottar Law, PLLC Scholarship, we hope to reduce barriers to education for students with physical or learning disabilities by providing additional financial security as they pursue their studies in college.

"No Essay" Scholarship The "No Essay" Scholarship, offered by College Prowler, isn't technically a summer scholarship. Whereas most scholarships are offered once a year or only once ever, the "No Essay" Scholarship is offered at the end of each month, which includes the summer months. As you can probably tell from the title, this $2,000 scholarship requires no essay. It's a non-writer friendly scholarship that pretty much only requires a pulse (and the skills to login or register for the website). If you're a high school or current college student or looking to attend college in the next 12 months, then you qualify. Winners are chosen at random. To not apply for such a simple scholarship this summer is almost inexcusable. You may already be lined up to receive student loans this upcoming fall semester but that doesn't mean you can't apply for some of these scholarships this summer. Nothing beats free money, especially scholarships like these, which for the most part, have easy at applications. If you must sit out in the sun this summer to relax or tan, why not grab your laptop and earn some free money while you're at it? Just make sure your laptop doesn't fall into the pool and you should be good to go. https://colleges.niche.com/scholarship/apply.aspx?utm_source=AdWords&utm_medium=GooglePPC&utm_campaign=GooglePPCNESScholarship&source=GooglePPCNESScholarship&reason=GooglePPCNES Next Deadline: January 31, 2020
