Sharemoney is offering a scholarship to women who are immigrants to the U.S.

Sharemoney, an online money remittance service that is passionate about providing people a way to cost-effectively transfer money to countries all over the world, is currently offering two new scholarship opportunities .

Sharemoney recognizes the important contributions of immigrants in this country. We are proud to offer one $4,000 scholarship award to one (1) woman to help immigrant families pursue a higher education here in the US. This scholarship is open to women who are first or second generation immigrants who are incoming freshmen, transfer students, current university students, and graduate students.

Sharemoney is also offering multiple (5) scholarships of $500 to students in developing countries who are pursuing higher education. We plan to continue both of these scholarships year after year!
