• Scholarship

    At Essential Oils Informer, we know that education is a crucial first step to building a successful career in business. We’ve been expanding in a field so new that it hasn’t been seen much in formal education, and that just makes us more thankful for the great formal education we and our team members have received.

    But as education becomes more and more important to a person’s success, so has the cost of achieving that education. In fact, 71 percent of recent college graduates have an average of $29,400 in student loans taken out. This number increases by 6 percent every year, making it a serious roadblock to success.

    That’s why, as Essential Oils Informer continues to have success, we find it important to give back to today’s students and help them achieve their career goals in the long run.

    We’ve established the Essential Oils Informer Scholarship, which will award two $250 prize to two college students during the 2015-2016 school year to be used toward tuition or purchasing books. These students must be able to explain the uses and benefits of various essential oils (listed below) in a short (800-1000 words) but well-researched and source-documented essay.

    CRITERIA:

    1. Be a college student taking a minimum of 12 credit hours each semester with regular progress toward a four-year degree.
    2. Demonstrate outstanding dedication to education and leadership qualities.
    3. Write a 800-1000 word essay about the uses or benefits of one of the following essential oils:
      • Cedarwood Oil
      • Cypress Oil
      • Turpentine Oil
      • Chamomile Oil
      • Sage Oil
      • Texas Oil
      • Ginger Oil
      • Hyssop Oil
      • Vanilla Oil
      • Black Oil
