Harris Poll Online
Scholarship Name: Histakes Sweepstakes
Description: This isn’t a scholarship in the traditional sense, but if you were looking for some more creative ways to pay for college, you might want to check out some of the online survey opportunities, like the Harris Poll Online Histakes Sweepstakes program. By filling out online surveys for Harris Polls Online, you are automatically considered for a monthly drawing, which is worth up to $10,000 in cash – cash that can be used to pay for tuition, books, even room and board. You’ll have to register as a member with Harris Polls to start filling out surveys, which means that you can expect your email inbox to get pretty busy. But if you stick with it, you’ll be eligible for a new drawing each month; that’s 6 chances a year to win $10,000 for college.
