Race Entry, an online race registration company, announced the Race Entry Student Scholarship to support students of all disciplines pursuing self-improvement and enhanced health through race participation and preparation. This $500 scholarship is awarded to the best “Race to Inspire” essay. Many people have their own different reasons for running in a race, and Race Entry wants to hear, read and share the most inspiring stories. Individuals who are enrolled in an accredited university within the United States of America during the fall semester are eligible to participate in the competition.
Scholarships are awarded to ambitious students who have demonstrated high skills and academic achievements in their respective fields. They are meant to be used as financial aid to pay for tuition and any education-related expenses. Most of the time, students need to take education loans to pay for a full-time course or program in a college or university. Furthermore, by the time they graduate, they end up with a huge debt and are unable to pay it back spontaneously. However, this is where scholarships can help students complete their education without relying on sources like loans. Also, students sometimes opt for side jobs or part-time jobs during their course duration so that they can simultaneously pay for college/university and earn their living expenses. They have to divide their attention between both studies and job. With scholarships, students can solely concentrate on completing their education.
Race Management software by Race Entry is the easiest online platform to use for registration and participation in races around the world. This was designed by avid athletes who are passionate race directors that envisioned a superior race registration service available to any and all individuals. Race Entry’s goal is to simply provide the best platform by focusing on three primary objectives, namely, save time, streamline the registration service, and make more money. They hold a competitive advantage over the processing fees within the industry, and their low fees can give all participants the best prices for participation.
