AmeriGlide Announces the AmeriGlide Achiever Scholarship

PR Log (Press Release) – Jun 02, 2009 – The AmeriGlide Achiever Scholarship is a scholarship program sponsored by AmeriGlide that awards a $500 scholarship to full-time students who use a wheelchair. The scholarship is a merit-based scholarship – applicants must submit an essay response of at least 500 words to one of the scholarship's posted essay questions. Students may also submit up to two character references from their teachers or other non-related individuals.

Interested parties are encouraged to visit www.ameriglide.com/scholarship to review this semester's essay question and the scholarship's requirements. The entire application, including the essay, can be submitted online through AmeriGlide's website. There is also an address given for traditional mail submissions.

AmeriGlide is the leading supplier of home mobility products such as wheelchair lifts and stair lifts. Providing excellent mobility solutions is a core value at AmeriGlide, and the AmeriGlide Achiever Scholarship reflects AmeriGlide's desire to give more. Tim Ziehwein, VP of Sales at AmeriGlide, added: "Our customers deserve more than physical mobility. Students participating in this scholarship also deserve career mobility."

The winner of the AmeriGlide Achiever Scholarship will receive a check shortly after being notified they won. The money may be spent on tuition, books, or any other expense the student feels is necessary.

The AmeriGlide Achiever Scholarship is offered twice per year, once for the fall semester and once for the spring semester.
