Paying for college can feel daunting.  Thankfully, there are a number of ways to fund a college education, and scholarships are one of the best available options.  Not only are scholarships a form of free money, but there are thousands of them available that can assist every kind of student in virtually every subject.  Scholarships can offset other forms of financial aid, so if you are a student who is taking out loans to fund your education, a scholarship can reduce the amount you borrow, meaning you owe less in student loans in the long run.

I still remember the day that I fell in love with museums. I was twelve years old and it was at The Milwaukee Public Museum in Wisconsin, my home state.

“For the dead and for the living, we must bear witness.” – Elie Wiesel Dr. Paul Kriese is a tenured Political Science professor at Indiana University East where he has taught since 1983.

It was a poor community and, while Paul was poor also, he always helped out his neighbors and was very active in the community. He learned early on the importance of diversity, respect, and community engagement and it was a major influence on his education. It is because of the value one gains through community service that … Continued
