from Susquehanna University

"RaiseMe is one of the easiest and most helpful scholarship opportunities someone can apply for. All students have to do is enter their information and get awarded for their hard work. RaiseMe is the reason I don't have to stress to cough up money for college. I appreciate them everyday and I hope every high school student takes the time to apply and be rewarded. Thank you, RaiseMe!"

"RaiseMe motivated me throughout high school by allowing me to visualize the amount of financial aid that I was eligible to receive for my various accomplishments. I was eager to raise that amount as the years progressed. By incorporating myself in the activities I already enjoyed such as basketball, A.P. courses and extracurricular clubs, it was easy to be rewarded.

The Greenwoods Scholarship Foundation was incorporated with the assistance of the

Northwestern Connecticut Chamber of Commerce in January of 1975 with the following basic purposes:

STUDENTS

To provide the most beneficial distribution of funds to the greatest number of deserving students.

AWARDS

To award such scholarships and assistance on the basis of financial need, academic achievement, and personal potential.

ASSISTANCE

To raise money to provide qualified people with financial aid for post secondary school education.

DONATIONS
