Unigard Insurance Group Awards 12 Students With $1,000 Scholarships
Learning about insurance companies that award scholarships to students is always welcome news.  A Bellevue, Washington based insurer Unigard Insurance Group has awarded “12 outstanding students with renewable $1,000 scholarships for college” according to insurancejournal.com.

As I’m sure you are well aware the cost of a private and public college education is steady rising at 5 to 7 percent annually.  Tuition for one year at a private college is now exceeding $40,000 and public colleges are over $10,000 a year. 

The scholarships are renewable up to three years or until earning a degree, whichever happens first.  The minimum GPA is 2.5 in order to be able to renew the scholarship.  The following criteria was used to award the scholarships:

  • Consideration of past academic performance and future potential;
  • Leadership and participation in school and community activities;
  • Work experience;
  • Career and educational aspirations and goals;
  • Unusual personal or family circumstances; and
  • An appraisal from a non-family member.
