CarDonors.com Scholarship
Due Date:  12/31/09                 Award Amount:  $500

average. If you’re a high school student, this obviously refers to your
high school GPA, weighted or un-weighted. If you’re a college student,
please use your college GPA, not your high school GPA — unless you are a
first-semester freshman and do not yet have a college GPA. In that case,
use your high school GPA; 2) Be a student in good standing at his/her
current institution. This simply means that you’re not on academic
probation or, of course, suspended from school for any reason; and 3) Be
attending or planning to attend an accredited U.S. college in the 2005-2006
or 2006-2007 school year. So if you’re a current college student, that’s
fine. If you’ve just graduated from high school and are headed to college,
that’s also fine. If you just finished your junior year of high school and
are getting an early start on scholarship applications, that’s fine, too.
But if you’re entering your junior year of high school or below, you are
not eligible.
