Actual Unclaimed Scholarships - FP Engineering

Paying for College
1

<p>You know how all those scammy companies promise to find you scholarships because millions of dollars worth go unclaimed every year? Of course, a lot of those turn out to be for red-headed students of Italian background who will go to college in New Mexico and major in marine biology… (A bit of an exaggeration, perhaps. :))</p>

<p>Here’s info on some scholarships that apparently really are going unclaimed: [College</a> Scholarships for Fire Protection Engineering Students Available, but Not Always Claimed](<a href=“http://www.prweb.com/releases/college/scholarships/prweb557080.htm]College”>http://www.prweb.com/releases/college/scholarships/prweb557080.htm). In this case, at least, the “unclaimed” claim is real, since the statement is coming from the sponsoring organization.</p>

<p>This also illustrates why some scholarships do go unclaimed: this money is available only to students studying fire protection engineering, a lucrative but uncommon major that is offered at relatively few schools. It’s likely some of the scholarships are restricted by geography, too.</p>

<p>I might add that Worcester Polytech has a great Fire Protection Engineering major.

<p>There are hundreds of scholarships that go unclaimed every year. I’m glad that someone is posting some of them.</p>
