Perry Newell, Funding College Project announcement.
We do things differently – The Funding College Project is about finding and using techniques and strategies to fund school and post high school activities. We identify funds, alerting people of existing options, build contacts, answer questions, complete forms and nominations for prizes and awards, offering a reminder to some and a look ahead for others.
Best of all, it’s FREE – We are trying to spread the word about Honors, Awards and Scholarships.
We are deeply indebted to the individuals and organizations which have helped us to reach an audience which has become worldwide. Please share this information with others.
As an OPEN PLATFORM, we invite and encourage others to share their support, offers or information. We do not require registration and do not collect personally identifiable information.
Our universe continues to expand with more and more contacts daily. We have learned that some of those participants of a few decades ago are surprised and amazed to have seen this growth, as am I! Whether it be in this state, the United States or elsewhere in the world.
It’s simple really – We have been in this arena for several decades and have helped many people along the way, making a friend or directing committees, smart individuals and schools.
Leaving students with financial burden, taking their focus away from their studies to pursue a full time job and allowing graduates to face an eternity of debt makes education inaccessible for many families. However if the alternative is admitting students based on their financial situations, a much more biased and inaccessible policy, then I choose the former. Denying students entrance to our schools because of their economic background is wrong; it makes education a privilege not a right.
We work with participants from Preschool age and to Adulthood, our process and documents are designed to provide information to an international audience.
The Compass will present you with common topics of interest for many adults returning to college. Select the topics that apply to you, and the Compass will guide you to useful information based on your specific needs and circumstances.
Explore nearly 4,000 educational pathways offered by colleges in Washington—from short certificates to prepare you for immediate employment to four-year degrees to support your career.
The Compass will help you find campuses that offer educational programs that match your goals and interests.
