$500 Mommy Blogger Scholarship from Star Costumes





Star Costumes has just launched the first-ever Mommy Blogger Scholarship -- a $500 scholarship for blogging moms to be used towards any accredited degree! You can find all the details below and just head on over to the website if you wan to enter!


Scholarship Amount

Star Costumes is awarding $500 to a qualified degree-seeking mommy blogger. If you run a blog for moms while also attending college and could use some extra funds to help pay for tuition, books, and other education-related expenses, then we have the scholarship for you!

Why a Mommy Blogger Scholarship?

As a mommy blogger you wear a lot of hats, and running a successful blog takes a range of complex skills — businessperson, entrepreneur, public relations expert, web designer, photographer (and, of course, don't forget the time you spend being a mom!)

And if you're looking to expand your already prodigious skillset with a degree, then Star Costumes wants to help. As a costume store specializing in kids costumes, moms are an especially important part of our clientele, and this is our chance to give back: Because if moms do well, then we tend to do pretty well too. And this scholarship isn't just available for moms -- daddy bloggers are welcome to enter too!

Eligibility Requirements:

Mommy Blogger Scholarship candidates must meet the following criteria:
  • Currently enrolled full-time or part-time at an accredited undergraduate or graduate post-secondary institution.
  • Maintaining a 3.0 GPA.
  • A US citizen.
  • 18 years or older.
