studentadvisor decisionday logoWhat would you do with an extra $1,000 for school? Put it towards text books? Student loans? A study abroad trip? Well, that's for you to figure out! This month StudentAdvisor is awarding $24,000 in scholarship money for the best college reviews! April is College Decision Month and high school seniors across the country have to decide where they will earn their college degree. What if you could help the students that are stuck on the fence make up their minds? Whether you're currently in college or an alum thinking about going back - your college review could help thousands of students and win you some cash! 

All you have to do is write a review on your college between April 1st and April 26th. Then, be sure to check out the StudentAdvisor homepage April 26th for our $24,000 Scholarships All-Nighter. One winner will be announced every hour for 24 hours to win a $1,000 - that's $24,000 in 24 hours! 

Don't forget that quality counts. The StudentAdvisor team will only pick the best reviews, so don't be shy! Be funny, be passionate, be insightful, or be inspiring! Whether you loved or hated your college you have the floor to tell future students the kind of stuff they can't find out from the school brochure. So what are you waiting for? Go write that review!

Do you have to be in college to quailify for this or can you be a rising freshman?

Hi Kate,  
No, you do not have to be in college, but according to the official rules you MUST be at least 18 to be eligible for prizing. Official rules can be found here: http://www.studentadvisor.com/pages/official-studentadvisor-decision-day-rules

But what if your birthday is in August like mine. I don't turn 18 until after I am already in college.

@Elizabeth the rules indicate that you must be 18 at time of entry to be eligible for prizing, don't believe an August birthday is going to cut it - sorry! But if your parent (on their school or your school) would like to do a college review it's totally allowed.
