FreSch! In The Press, Awards FreSch! Has Won
Press Releases
FreSch! is the only scholarship search website that has it's own scholarship program! A portion of all advertising revenue is used to fund FreSch's ongoing scholarship program. In 1998, $1,300 was awarded. In 1999, a total of $3,400 was awarded. In 2000, $5,100 was awarded. For 2001, $2,225 was awarded, and for 2002, at least $2,000 will be awarded. With continued advertiser support, it is hoped to continue to increase the fund and the number of students directly assisted.
You can read about some of our 1998 winners here, the 1999 winners here, the 2000 winners here, the 2001 winners here, and all about the year 2002 scholarship program here. Help FreSch! "give back" to it's visitors by supporting FreSch!
