Canada's Leading Car Rental Resource VroomVroomVroom Introduces $1000 Scholarship for Canadian Students

Online, June 19, 2013 (Newswire.com) - In an effort to support students who are committed to higher education in Canada, acclaimed car rental comparison and booking website VroomVroomVroom is offering a $1000 scholarship award. The financial assistance will be awarded to a student entering a Canadian college or university in the fall who exemplifies academic excellence and an insight into Canadian travel destinations.

Peter Thornton, owner of VroomVroomVroom (www.vroomvroomvroom.ca), attributes his own education to his success, and understands how the power of academic opportunity can contribute to the success of Canada's future. He believes a financial award can help provide a boost to a student that has a variety of expenses associated with post-secondary education in addition to tuition, such as course materials and supplies. For many students, accommodation, transportation and food expenses need to be factored in to their budget.

As part of the application process, students must write a brief essay that reveals some of the best unknown local attractions for tourists for any major Canadian city. Instead of submitting a hard copy of the writing, applicants are required to post it online on a website, blog or forum. Through this process, the VroomVroomVroom team can select a recipient based on his or her writing skills, as well as on his or her ability to shed light on lesser known Canadian destinations.

Canadian students who are enrolled or planning to enroll in an accredited college or university this fall or next spring can visit VroomVroomVroom's scholarship page to learn more details about the scholarship, as well as download the application.
