Guidelines for the GetVoIP Achievers Scholarship

The winning essay will be judged on the following criteria: content, style, creativity, and how persuasively the applicant presents his or her point of view on the topic. After the deadline of August 31, 2018, all entries will be reviewed. After review, the winning essay will be selected by a panel of three judges.

The applicant of the winning essay will receive a one-time scholarship of $3,000 to be applied to the following school-related expenses: tuition, fees, books, and on-campus room and board. Funds must be used in the 2018-2019 academic year. Scholarship funds are provided by GetVoIP and will be paid via mail to the Financial Aid Office of the winning applicant’s college.

All entries must be entered through the official GetVoIP GetVoIP Achievers Scholarship submission form. No paper or hard copy submissions will be accepted. All essays must be written in English. Submissions must be uploaded in plain text format. Personal information submitted will be used solely for the use of awarding the scholarship and will not be used for any other function.
