Everyone knows college costs are on the rise. And while you're doing your best to save, you're probably going to need some help.

This year, the Upromise scholarship will award $2,500 to 100 exceptional students for the 2010-2011 academic year. Since 2007, we've given $750,000 to hundreds of dedicated students. Now you, or someone you care about, could be one of them.

You must be a Upromise member to win. Awards will be based on need and merit. Applications must be received by February 15, 2010.
