$100,000 Education Account to be given away Friday, June 3, 2011

May 27, 2011 - PRLog -- The drawing for the 2nd annual ScholarWise $100,000 Education Account Giveaway benefiting Special Olympics Louisiana is scheduled for Friday, June 3rd.  It’s not too late for those interested in winning this non-traditional scholarship to get their tickets.  The last day to purchase tickets is June 2nd.

Unlike traditional scholarships that impose GPA requirements, curriculum limitations, and are school specific, the ScholarWise $100,000 Education Account can be used by anyone for any education-related expenses anywhere.  Tuition at any school and any grade level, including Pre K through college, room and board, and education-related travel are some of the applications.  The account can also be used to repay student loans.      
"Education at all levels is fast becoming prohibitively expensive and ScholarWise can relieve that burden for the winner,” says Fred Reggie, ScholarWise CEO. “Nothing else like this is available.”  

Proceeds from this fundraiser benefit Special Olympics Louisiana which conducts more than 100 Olympics-style games across the state each year for over 13,000 athletes with intellectual disabilities.

“Public support ensures that our 13,000 Special Athletes will be able to compete in these games and be enriched by the experience”, said Pat Carpenter Bourgeois, CEO of Special Olympics Louisiana. “This giveaway is really an all-win opportunity - parents win, students win, and our Special Athletes win.”


Tickets are $100 and are limited; they may be purchased online at www.myscholarwise.com, at all Home Bank locations, and by phone at 1-877-324-2010.  Support Special Olympics and buy your ticket today for a chance to win the ScholarWise $100,000 Education Account.
