GotChosen congratulates Elisabeth Schuller for getting the most voters in the August 2015 Social Network Scholarship contest.

Betsy (Elisabeth) attends Benedictine University at Mesa, AZ. She is majoring in Communications/Journalism with a minor in Art. Betsy applied for this scholarship in August before school started; never giving up hope to help her parents pay for school.
Betsy was very determined to win the scholarship and shared how she made it happen. " After creating my account and posting my post, I decided to text every single person in my contacts list and explain the contest to them and sent them the link to ask them to vote for me. I did that along with sharing it on every social media so I would have a large base of people to vote for me.
I would like to thank GotChosen for the chance to enter this scholarship competition. After scouring multiple scholarship sites and applying for numerous essay based scholarships, my mom and I found this one on GotChosen.com.
For myself, this was a very refreshing way to apply for a scholarship because too many essays, especially with different prompts, becomes tedious and sort of boring after awhile. I would encourage every college student to enter to win this because it is based off one of the biggest things that has come from our generation, social media. it gives us a chance to show everyone that it can be used for many great things such as scholarships".
We love Betsy's excitement for using our social media platform to make a difference in her college dreams.
