It’s about time someone rewarded students for the nonacademic work they’ve been doing. The AXA Foundation, in association with U.S. News & World Report, will be offering a scholarship to students who have achieved something admirable, something nonacademic for once. While some consideration will be given to a student’s extracurricular activities, work experience and academic record, the nonacademic achievement is the central focus. But you better hurry; only the first 12,000 applicants will be considered! Okay, so maybe that’s a lot.

I am interested in this scholarship. Ii will really like a chance to be honored for this I am really trying to strive to do my best.
I am really interested in this scholarship because I don’t have a lot of money. I am currently a senior, but I screwed up my freshman year. I’ve got my head on right after graduating the program I was in at Darrington Academy. I’m pulling straight A’s and would appriciate any possible chance I might have with this.
Sincerely,
Logan Darlow

Please forward access to this scholarship to the email address above. I am struggling to afford college. I have worked while attending high school since I was 14. From the summer youth program to a real job that just went out of buisness one month ago.
