Announcing a new annual scholarship opportunity
Tassel Depot's - Tassels 4 Education® Annual Scholarship
We will award 4 scholarships annually to graduating high school seniors who are either applying to or accepted by an accredited college or university, or currently enrolled college students with one year or more remaining in their education.
How to Apply for the Scholarship
3 simple steps
Step 1: Review the prompt!
Time is Precious to Everyone. Many of us have found ourselves asking for "5 more minutes". If you could have just a little more time at your school, what would you do with it?
This year’s prompt is ...
“ What I would do with my extra time in school? ”
Step 2: Create your project!
CREATIVE WRITING: Essays are acceptable but don't feel limited to a typical essay; tell us about what you would do with my extra time in school with your imaginative words. No minimum word count. Essays should not exceed 1,500 words. Please use 10 point Times New Roman.
Let your talent loose and let your creativity flow!
Step 3: Submit!
