Wear Action Scholarship (ID 2708)


Scholarship Description

Start Date:
12/1/2016
Deadline:
2/28/2017
Website:
http://wearaction.com/scholarship
Amount:
$500
Description:
Education is essential, but it’s also expensive. Between tuition, books and living expenses, it can be a real struggle for kids and their families to get everything they need. It also causes a lot of stress and undue worry, which isn’t good for learning or your health. So we here at Wear Action decided to help.
We’ve created a $500 Wear Action scholarship, to not only help ease the burden of school costs, but to promote healthy living. We believe healthy living, eating right, exercising, and positive thinking are essential tools to succeed not just in school, but in life.
We also firmly believe that fitness gadgets, like trackers and monitors are a major component to making that all happen- especially for students. Between studying, work and family, it is easy to forget to exercise or skip meals, but with the right gadget, you can stay on the right path in and out of class.
Our scholarship focuses on this idea, which is why we are looking for the best essay centered around this title: “How do fitness gadgets impact our life”.
