10 February Scholarships Students Will Love Posted byUnigo Staff May 29, 2015February 5, 2023 By tamara L’amour. Cinta. Amore. However you say it, love is in the air. It’s that time of the year where hearts starting beating a little faster and students wait feverishly for that one special gift…a college acceptance letter. But, unlike chocolates and other Valentine’s gifts, this one isn’t free. You have to find a way to pay for it, whether it’s your first or last year in college. It may seem like you have an eternity to figure out where the money will come from, but the next few months will disappear quicker than those candy hearts you used to receive as gifts in elementary school (BTW, I still love them!). So, don’t waste your time looking for the perfect Valentine’s Day date or racking your brain to think of the perfect DIY gift; instead, spend your time and energy falling in love with these February scholarships. They can help you achieve the gift that keeps on giving — a college education. 1. Youth Education Summit (Y.E.S.)
