The Yakezie has recently launched a new scholarship program! Alan Dunn of HowtoSaveMoney.com along with many Yakezie members have all kindly decided to sponsor the scholarship program, and you can also head over to the Yakezie to support the program and donate.
How to donate
There are currently two options:
- Head to Yakezie.com’s donate page.
- Make a personal payment with PayPal to: theyakezie@gmail.com, and state that it’s for the scholarship.
Who’s eligible for the current scholarship?
Any high school student and below who is interested in furthering their education is eligible to apply for the scholarship program. Here are the three different essay topics that can be chosen:
1) Who is your hero and why? What are the attributes your hero possesses that makes you admire him or her so much? Compare these attributes to your own and tell us your similarities and where you can improve. What steps will you take to become more like your hero?
2) Discuss a time when you failed or did not live up to your full potential. Assess the things that prevented you from achieving what you were aiming for and analyze what you would do differently if you had another chance. Do you let failure motivate you or keep you down?
3) What kind of skills do you learn through sports that can help you succeed in life? Tell us a time where a particular aspect you learned from sports helped you get through a difficult time. How do you plan to pass on your knowledge?
If you’re interested, then head over to the Yakezie to get the full scoop and submit your essay!
Sounds like a worthy cause.
And with low admin fees, to boot. 😉
Good work mate! Thx for highlighting. Maybe we should write our own? I answered #2 in a post and I’m Wondering if I should publish it on yakezie.com
Why not? Could be interesting.
Great job publishing the scholarship Kevin!!!
What in the world did I mean in my last comment? I meant “Great job spreading the word on the Yakezie scholarship”
😛
Hey Kevin,
I’ll pass this on to some of my students. Some of the teachers’ kids might want to take a crack at it.
Hey Kevin,
I have to admit that I’m a tech luddite. How do I donate? I went to the Financial Samurai site, but I’m not savvy enough to figure it out. Ahhh, it was born in the wrong era.
And on another note, I don’t think the teachers’ kids at my school are as deserving as some of the kids that the Yakezie group has in mind. Laughable question, but how do you join the Yakezie anyway? I told you I was slow!
I’ll have to hear more about those teachers’ kids someday. 😉

I think that you’d enjoy the challenge, Andrew. All you need to do to join is basically just announce it on your website, and add the badge somewhere. Let Sam know at theyakezie@gmail.com that you’ve joined. You can find out all the details here: http://yakezie.com/yakezie-network-submission-guidelines
Most important is to be part of the community and reciprocate, which is something that you’re already good at. If you have any questions in installing the badge or other issues, just let me know!
Awesome promo for this Kevin. I think I will send a similar post to my subscribers today.
