You must complete the registration process, select the format for your Confirmation Email, and retain a copy of the Confirmation Email that is sent to you. By registering, you will be able to access the Scholarship Search Tool online and download the informative Directory of Scholarship Websites at no charge, which contains links and information on thousands of websites that provide scholarships, or scholarship information. Limit: one (1) entry per person per Contest Period. However, by using the Tell-A-Friend functionality, you may earn one (1) additional entry for each different friend you tell about our website, for a total of up to three (3) additional entries per person. Any use of automatic, programmed or similar entry methods or agents (including but not limited to sweepstakes entry services) will void all entries by that entrant. Proof of entry submission will not be deemed to be proof of receipt by Sponsor. Entries will be acknowledged with a confirmation email, which must be saved and submitted by the potential winners upon notification of selection. All entrants must submit a valid email and postal address. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, technically corrupted or misdirected entries, all of which will be disqualified. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of an entrant, the authorized account holder of the email address used to enter will be deemed the entrant. The "authorized account holder" is the natural person assigned to the email address by the organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the respective domain. |
