As a college student or someone concerned about a
college student, being a Volunteer Fund Raiser has
a special benefit. Each person who volunteers at least
twenty hours and raises a minimum of $4000 can apply
for a “Guaranteed Scholarship" up to a
limit of $2000 each year. Any applicant can help one
or more other applicants. Theoretically, anyone who
has enough friends or relatives willing to help could
pay the full tuition at any college.
Each time
you and your volunteers raise at least $1000, one
of you can apply for a “Guaranteed Scholarship"
to the Education & Employment Committee.
The college specified in your application will automatically
be sent a $500 Tuition Scholarship for the beneficiary
named in the application. By raising $4000, your beneficiary
would automatically receive a $2000 Scholarship. Yes,
you can be your own beneficiary. A college student
in cooperation with five volunteers (say both parents
and two other relatives or friends) could receive
$10,000/yr. in Scholarships by having each one sponsor
him/her. You can generate your own $2000 scholarship,
then help one or more other people generate additional
$2000 scholarships. The limit of $2000 is set to encourage
people to help other people, to broaden the scope
of involvement by many people and to stop potential
conflicts of interest. Scholarships are sent directly
to the colleges and may be used only for tuition,
books and fees. Living expenses must come from work,
loans, parental assistance or other sources.
Chimorel
has developed at least four programs to help people
attend college.
