    Apply for a $3,000.00 scholarship with ResumeGo

    SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION

    Our mission at ResumeGo, a professional resume writing service, is to help people further their professional careers by giving them the best chance of getting hired by the companies they want to work for. However, furthering your career doesn’t begin with your job search, but rather with your education.

    Unfortunately, going to college is expensive, and sometimes too expensive for some students. Paying off student loans and tuition fees can be a huge strain on both the student and the family members involved. To help ease the burden of college tuition, ResumeGo has launched the ResumeGo Scholarship Program with the goal of awarding scholarships to qualified high school seniors and college students in the communities where the members of our management team grew up.

    This is the second year of the ResumeGo Scholarship Program. There are 2 scholarship contests planned each year, with 2 winners selected per contest. The deadline for our current contest is July 1, 2017. Each winner will receive $3000 towards funding his or her college tuition. After our current contest, the next one is scheduled to have a submission deadline on December 1, 2017.

    We believe that education can change people’s lives and open up all sorts of amazing opportunities not only for themselves but for others around them. This scholarship is meant to play a small role in helping to do just that. If you have any questions about our application process, please contact us at contact@resumego.net

    OFFICIAL RULES

    Judging

    Academic Achievement: Does the transcript indicate a student who excels academically? Judges will take into account the individual’s GPA, coursework, and all other factors that distinguish an exceptional student.

    Other Achievements: Publications, awards, and other notable achievements are all valued and will be taken into consideration when selecting winners.

    Short Essays: Judges will evaluate essays based on originality, creativity, grammatical accuracy, and ability to inspire others. There is no formula breaking down the importance of each such criterion. Instead, each essay will be considered in its entirety. Judges will be asking themselves the following questions: Does the essay present an original viewpoint or perspective? How well-written is the essay? Does the essay inspire the reader?

    Prize

    Two winners are selected out of the pool of applicants. Each winner will receive a scholarship of $3000 which can be applied to the following school-related expenses: tuition, fees, books, and on-campus room and board. Each winner will be contacted via e-mail, and must respond within 5 days in order to accept the reward. If no response is received within that time frame, another winner will be selected to receive the award instead.

    Submission

    All contest submissions must be made using the official ResumeGo application form on this webpage. No other types of submission will be accepted. Every section of the online application form must be filled out for the submission to be valid and considered by our judges. All content submitted must be in English. (Note that a transcript is required so that judges are able to evaluate the each student’s academic performance, and any private or sensitive information may be blurred out before you upload it).
