Win a $5,000 Scholarship for Summer 2012!

This summer, SpareFoot foots the bill for one lucky college student to see the world.

Whether you’re spending summer break shopping on the Champs-Élysées or chartering gondolas in Italy, studying abroad can be costly. We want you to afford pastel macaroons and tiny boat rides! Why? Because we’ve been there, too. Really.

SpareFoot CEO Chuck Gordon founded the company while in college at UCLA. He needed a place to store his dorm essentials before studying abroad in Singapore, but couldn’t find an affordable option. When he returned to the states, he founded SpareFoot as the solution to find, compare, and book storage online.? ?Now, Chuck and SpareFoot present an opportunity for one lucky college student to score free storage and a cool $5,000 scholarship. An applicant can be studying abroad, interning, or even just skipping town for the summer.  And because we know you’re perpetually busy, applying for the Spare Funds scholarship is a cinch. Simply submit the one page (100 word limits! Online!) scholarship application. That’s it! 

Visit the Spare Funds site here to apply. Enter by June 1, and you could be worry-free for the best summer of your life!
