LOS ANGELES, CA, February 03, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Going to college or a vocational school can be an expensive venture. The recently launched non-profit, "School Me Now Foundation", utilizes breakthroughs in "crowd funding" to help students market themselves and bring in tax-deductible donations to donors.
The biggest obstacle with obtaining an education is often the huge cost factor. This is far from a desirable situation, especially when advancing technology may be opening the doors to better alternatives than student loans and other traditional methods of raising these funds. Schoolmenow.org launched its web site around three months ago and has over 2200 students that have registered to receive scholarships based on many criteria and funding goals. School Me Now helps students market themselves in order to reduce educational expenses by donors awarding scholarships. The donors receive tax deductible donations. It's a "WIN-WIN" situation for both parties!
Don't have the money to go to college? "Students now have a new way to receive money for college and fulfill their dreams," commented Michael A. Curcio, Co-Founder & CEO. "School Me Now provides just that type of opportunity. It's really an idea whose time has come. A student can register for free by creating an online profile and then start receiving scholarships immediately from friends, family, or organizations. Its that easy."
According to the foundation, donating is simple, easy, and the site is open to 10th grade or higher. Even older adults can now go back to college to further a higher education. Donors are able to choose a specific student to award a scholarship to. "School Me Now" handles the transfer of funds to the educational institution or vocational program the student selects thereby removing any concerns donors may have in regards to how their donations are going to be dispersed.
Visit www.schoolmenow.org today to become a student member or to donate to one of our deserving students. It is a great way to help America's youth realize their dreams.
