Upcoming Scholarship Sharing Fair September 26 & 27, 2015~Connecting students to resources for funding a higher education

17 August 2015 by

Welcome to Scholarship Sharing!

Scholarship Sharing is an information distribution platform that is dedicated to connecting students to resources for funding a higher education. Scholarship Sharing works to ensure students can be knowledgeable about ways to fund college, and empower them to make smart financial decisions. Students often don't know where to begin their search for aid, therefore they provide events and services to expand the knowledge of college funding opportunities.

Scholarship Sharing is a nonprofit that was started by President Lorraine SantaLucia who graduated debt free herself. She dedicated has her life to helping other students do the same. 

Check out our programs helping students across Virginia:

Annual Scholarship Fair

Each year they host a Scholarship Fair for students which brings together foundations from across Virginia as well as several national scholarship programs. Students get the opportunity to learn about each organization's application process for their scholarships, and also have the unique opportunity to network with foundation representatives. 

During this event they also have powerpoint presentations on how to find and apply for scholarship aid resources in both English and Spanish given by our President Lorraine SantaLucia who has won $40,000 in scholarships herself and graduated debt free.

They are holding a Scholarship Fair this September at Tidewater Community College Chesapeake Campus open to ALL Virginia students regardless of what school they would like to go to. The event will be especially helpful to our military families since they have an entire area dedicated to aid for military service members, spouses, and their children.

In addition the event will have a raffle for a $500 scholarship for students who make a donation to the scholarship fund.
