6 Painless And Fun Scholarships For Students

N/A

Graduating high school seniors or freshmen, sophomores, and juniors in college, I’ve got a few scholarship opportunities that are too good to pass up. Throughout my college career I always told myself, “Alex, you need to apply for scholarships next school year.” Guess what? I never did up until my last year. Yes, it was partially out of laziness but also due to the complicated application process and stipulations accompanying each scholarship.

It turns out I wasn’t qualified for the majority of them because I wasn’t a member of XXX sorority, didn’t have XXX GPA, and wasn’t from XXX county in the state I went to school in. I’m beginning to think that schools grant scholarships as if they are giving out their first born child. That said, I decided to look for scholarships outside of the school system for all of my fellow students in need.

The following scholarships are painless, fun, and don’t require an arm and a leg to apply. All prompt and eligibility details can be found in the links provided below.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
