Go Daddy wants to help technology-driven students pay for
tuition through their second annual .ME Scholarship Program. Go
Daddy, the world's largest provider of Web
hosting, domain name registrations and new SSL
Certificates, is giving 10 deserving students $10,000 each to
help with college tuition costs. The deadline to apply is March
30.
Eligible students are encouraged to tell Go Daddy their story
about how the Internet has influenced their intellectual,
entrepreneurial, artistic or athletic pursuits. Students can submit
their applications online
at www.GoDaddy.com/MEscholarship.
The rising cost of tuition in a tough economy is making it
difficult to earn a college degree. The reason for starting this
scholarship program benefits both students and Go Daddy.
"Go Daddy is stepping up to support the future of the technology
industry," said Go Daddy CEO Warren Adelman. "By investing in these
tech-driven students, we are investing in the future of Go Daddy.
These scholarship recipients may well be our future employees … the
next generation of Go Daddy technologists.”
Go Daddy initiated the scholarship program last year, helping to
send 10 students to colleges and universities all over the
country.
"The Go Daddy dotME scholarship helped take some of the burden
off my family," said Arizona State University student Annica
Benning, who enjoyed the benefits of winning one of the $10,000
scholarships last year. "It really made a difference and I'd
encourage other students to apply for the Go Daddy dotME
scholarship. It's a simple process - you should just go for
it."
To apply for the Go Daddy .ME Scholarship, applicants must be
pursuing an undergraduate degree in fall 2012, have a minimum 3.0
GPA and have scored higher than 1000 on the SAT or 21+ on the ACT.
Applicants need to submit two letters of recommendation and write a
500-word essay describing how the Internet or Internet technology
has helped them in the course of their studies, and how they
envision benefiting from it in the future.
More than 1,000 scholarship applications have already been
submitted online. The application deadline is March 30. Go Daddy's
scholarship recipients are scheduled to be announced at the end of
April.
