StorageMart ScholarSmarts
Scholarships for Higher Education
If Money Were No Object
The potential that lies within each of us to fulfill our dreams is sharpened and fed through our life experiences and education. Money shouldn’t be an obstacle when it comes to continuing your education. The StorageMart ScholarSmarts program can help you reach your goals and make your dreams come true.
Not Eligible for those Other Scholarships? Apply Here!
After much research into scholarship programs, we’ve found that the eligibility restrictions on most college scholarships are narrow and stringent. So, we thought we should follow suit – only applicants who are over 7 feet tall, were born in a self storage unit and currently farm over 1,000 acres of radishes should apply – just kidding!
We’re taking a different approach; rather than limiting our ScholarSmarts funds to narrow groups of people, we’re opening the gates. Anyone enrolled in any college, university, technical school, apprentice program, culinary school, public school, private school, ivy league school, fine arts academy, military school, veterinary school, cosmetology school or specialty school of any kind (you get the picture) should apply for this scholarship.
Use ScholarSmarts Money For School, Books, Renting Self Storage… and more
We know that going to school means you’re sacrificing time and money. You’ve already decided that education is important – let us reward you.
ScholarSmarts money can be used for tuition, books, computers and laptops, software, lab fees, room and board, rent, child care or even your mortgage. The bottom line is, you are putting in the time, effort and money to get your degree so whether you spend your ScholarSmarts scholarship directly on school or for all those bills piling up while you’re in class, it’s up to you.
