College Scholarships for Homeschool Graduates, and Campbell's Labels for Education Program

I've spent the last week scrambling for scholarship money for college for our homeschool graduate. Find Scholarships, Grants & other FREE stuff at http://www.homeschoolzone.com/faq/free.htm .

One of the most important skills needed for college is essay writing. Why not let your homeschooled high school student practice writing and earn scholarship money at the same time? For the Penguin Putnam Essay Contest, which should now be available to homeschooled students, go to http://www.penguinputnam.com/static/html/services-academic/essayhome.html . Find more about scholarships, homeschooling high school and even homeschooling college at my web site, http://www.eaglesnesthome.com/unit.htm .

Here's something else of interest to homeschoolers of all ages:
Campbell's Labels for Education program, a freebie from the http://www.homeschoolzone.com/ :

"It's official! Homeschoolers are now allowed to be part of
Campbell's Labels for Education program. Originally you had to be a real sleuth to figure out if you could participate, but NOW it's official."

According to "Ask Anne" section of their website (which is still a bit hidden from the front page of the program), it says:

(From Campbell's website)
"Are homeschools eligible to participate in the program?
Homeschools are eligible to participate as long as they are accredited through their county or state. Please send a letter with proof of your accreditation to:

Campbell's Labels for Education
PO Box 3130
Grand Rapids, Minnesota 55745-3130, http://www.labelsforeducation.com/coord_ask_anne.asp

or call 1-800-424-5331

Their Labels for Education Program,which encourages public and private schools to collect labels from all Campbell's products ( which includes companies Pepperidge Farm and Godiva), allow students and schools to exchange labels for such goodies as videos, art supplies, even computers. Wouldn't this be a great way for homeschool support groups to fund field trips, educational supplies, or equipment?

    You're very welcome, SassyC, and thanks for the encouragement. If you know anyone who would be interested, please let them know about it.

    I loved your new Blog, too--your blog is original and definitely worth reading, especially for any homeschooling mom or dad. I hope that we can add eachother to our Friends lists. I just need to figure out how to do that, first. Anyway, keep up the good work.
