LIFE Lessons Scholarship Voting is Underway
The annual online vote has just launched, where the LIFE Foundation asks the industry and public to help determine which of three college-age students is most deserving of the top scholarship in the Video Entry category. Through the LIFE Lessons program, they award scholarships to students who are struggling to pay for college because their parents died with little or no life insurance. The three young people featured in the online vote have already been awarded $2,500 scholarships. The student whose story receives the most online votes will receive an additional $2,500 in scholarship money.
Votes can be cast at www.lifehappens.org/vote. The deadline to vote is Friday, Aug. 13, 2010 at 5PM Eastern.
