2021 Unigo Top Ten List Scholarship Winner

Posted byUnigo Staff

Unigo is thrilled to announce the winner of our Top Ten List Scholarship! We had over 250 applicants this year and we are so grateful for everyone’s interest in applying. Before we reveal our winner, we want to give a big shout out to all of our applicants. It was great to learn about each and every one of you through your essays. Thank you to everyone who applied!

The essay asked “Create a Top Ten List of the top ten reasons you should get this scholarship.” and participants had 250 words or less to answer.

Julia Cline from St. Louis, MO, 63101 and a student at Colorado State University had the winning answer. She joins our list of Unigo scholarship winners and we couldn’t be prouder.

Check out Julia’s winning entry.
