FTF Scholarships
Have you ever taken an unexpectedly wonderful -- or terrible but funny -- trip with your family? Or have you journeyed somewhere with a school group or sports team and have some advice on how to make the most of your experience or destination? Have you taken a trip somewhere on your own, or with friends, that opened up new ways of looking at the world?
Family Travel Forum (FTF), the web's leading trip-planning resource for family travelers, offers scholarships to encourage everyone to share their travel experiences. All scholarships are administered at FTF's site www.travelBIGO.com, where writers can find the necessary forms for submission of their work.
In addition to FTF's popular Teen Travel Writing Scholarship held each summer, there is a monthly Punzabo award given to the most highly rated travel journal on the travelBIGO site, as judged by the community of users.
Visit BIGO's Scholarship page for current information about scholarships, submission deadlines, FAQs and upcoming events.
