Borland Receives $4,000 Scholarship
As college students everywhere prepare to start a new semester, the National Association for the Self-Employed has made the tuition bill easier to pay for Alex R. Borland, a graduate of Bradford Area High School, with a $4,000 college scholarship.
The scholarship award can be used to defray the cost of tuition, which has risen to an average of $7,020 per year for four-year public colleges, and $26,273 per year for private schools, according to the College Board. Alex will enter studies at the University of Pittsburgh this fall.
Alex is the son of Robin Borland, a member of the National Association for the Self-Employed. The NASE is an association dedicated to bringing educational resources, consolidated buying power and legislative advocacy to the self-employed.
The NASE awarded 20 scholarships worth $4,000 each this year as part of its scholarship program. In addition, because of the NASE’s mission of supporting entrepreneurs, the flagship award of the association’s Scholarship Program goes to a dependent of an NASE Member already successfully running his or her own business. The NASE Future Entrepreneur award is worth up to $24,000. This year’s NASE Future Entrepreneur is Zachary Gosling from Denver, Pa.
“For 21 years, the NASE has viewed this scholarship program as a way to help our members send their children to college,” said Robert Hughes, NASE president. “The students can study any subject at any accredited college. It’s our way of investing in future micro-business owners.”
