Perry Newell, Funding College Project announcement.
We have been involved in this arena from the early 70s many things have changed since that time, being one who has often advocated for change and have found some who have fancy titles and held powerful positions leaning a hand.
It’s FREE – We are trying to spread the word about Honors, Awards and Scholarships to as many people as can be reached, please share this information widely.
Our process and documents are designed to provide information to an international audience and offer a look ahead for some and a reminder to others. We start where the student’s wants are and test a number of techniques or strategies to assure success for those actively engaged in finding resources for in school and after school expenses., we attempt to identify a number of Honors and Awards in our mixture for those in elementary, middle, high, vocational school, college and into adulthood.
As an OPEN PLATFORM, we invite and encourage others to share their offers or information.
The Funding College Project, and Cash for Kids are non-commercial activities and have been asked to supply to individuals, organizations, newspapers, and community bulletin boards serving the area with information about active honors, awards, scholarships and insightful advice.
We produce and have material published pretty often (some our past work can be found electronically at https://thesubtimes.com/ – Search – Perry L. Newell or Funding College Project) however, folks in 43 countries are asking for it all the time.
