Second Annual “Fuel Your Dreams” Scholarship Competition

Last year I posted about this scholarship from 24sevenenergy, and it is that time of year again. If you can write an essay detailing your dreams for the future in 250 words or less, you could possibly win a $1,000 scholarship.

24sevenenergy is offering 2, $1,000 scholarships to the student of any age who writes the best essay. It's that simple.
