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, this might be the scholarship for you!
Why a Mommy Blogger Scholarship?
As a mommy blogger you wear a lot of hats, and running a sucessful 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 their clientele, and this is their chance to give back. (And this scholarship isn't just available for moms -- daddy bloggers are welcome to enter too!)
