Education is Freedom(SM) Opens Scholarship Application Period; College Scholarships Available for Hardworking, 'B' Average Seniors

"DALLAS, Jan. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Graduation is right around the corner for the Class of 2004. For many students who are not quite at the top of their class and need financial help to go to college, a high school diploma could be -- ironically -- the end of the road. But now, hard-working, "B" average seniors can apply for scholarships from a national education foundation that targets students with a 3.0 to 3.5 GPA (on a 4.0 scale).

Education is Freedom (EIF), is accepting applications through February 15 from hard-working seniors who want to go to college but don't qualify for traditional scholarships. Students can apply online at http://www.educationisfreedom.org for $2,000 scholarships to cover tuition, books and fees for the 2004/2005 year. An estimated 250 scholarships will be awarded in June 2004. (The actual number of scholarships given will depend on total monies raised.)"
