The Vidicom Scholarship
Working your way through college has its risks and rewards. On one hand , you learn keep one
foot in the “real world” and can actually learn to budget your time more efficiently. On the
other hand, a job can distract you from your studies. And often time you spend in the real
world is not as rewarding as the time you spend in the classroom and with your books.
And, even if you do work, with rising tuition costs, it is hard to balance extra hours with the
hours you need to devote to school.
Here at Vidicom, we would like to help. We are pleased to offer eligible students a chance to
apply for a Vidicom Scholarship.
