  2. Hello,

    I apologize for posting this in a comment, but I could not find an email. My company, which is the part after the @ sign in my email, is offering a scholarship for students who use wheelchairs. I thought you might be able to help us let people know about it. You can find the complete details at the site or by giving me an email. Thanks!

  3. Hello,

    I’m trying to reach the main business development contact for the site.
    United Sample is a new venture-backed online survey company that offers
    a great way for your site members to make money. It’s a relatively new
    offer, that isn’t saturated in the market so there is a good chance your audience has never seen it before.

    Please have someone in business development or sales contact me as soon
    as possible to discuss a partnership. If you’re not the appropriate
    contact, please forward this message to the proper contact.
    Thanks in advance,

    Jeff

  4. If anyone knows where I can find scholarships or grants to help with college expenses please let me know. I’m looking for help with books, etc.
    Thank You.

  5. To Whom it May Concern,

    I’m reaching out on behalf of http://www.iAdmissions.com, a network of former admissions officers from colleges like Stanford, Harvard, Brown, Northwestern, and UCLA that offers affordable online college counseling.

    Our team is led by Dr. Jon Reider, former Associate Director of Admissions at Stanford University from 1985-2000. Dr. Reider has authored several illuminating articles on the college admissions process, including “The Five Traits That Matter Most to Admissions Officers” and “How to Address the ‘Why This College?’ Prompt”.

    We would be very interested in having one of our articles published on your blog as a resource for your site visitors. Please email me if your blog would be interested in featuring and/or archiving any of Dr. Reider’s articles.

    Best,
    Kate and The iAdmissions Team

  6. Hi there

    I just wanted to complement you on your site and in particular your post entitled “Save money for school without doing much at all”. I thought it was a very interesting and well written piece. I would like to write an article for you entitled “Stay Safe on the Internet”. My article will give advice on how students can protect themselves from being victims of computer viruses or cybercrime on the Internet. I think that this is an important article which will be useful to your readers.

    Am I OK to send you my article for your consideration

    Kind Regards

  7. Hey,

    Shame I couldn’t seem to comment on one of your articles, but I just updated my own blog with a post giving a couple tips for students to help them budget for when they start this autumn. Check it out if you’d like.

    Alex | the Sneaky Student.
