Does HUMMER Offer a Scholarship?
Does anyone here know if HUMMER (or GM for that matter) offers some sort of a college scholarship? You may have noticed my extreme love of HUMMERs, especially the H2, which I've made evident by my involvement in this forum over the past couple of months. I am currently a junior in high school, and as you may or may not remember, spring of junior year is heavily laden with college searching and the likes. I play two varsity sports at my high school (football and basketball) and am maintaining a 92 or so GPA. If anyone here knows anything about a scholarship or something similar, I would love to know. Please feel free to reply in this thread, or send me a PM. Thank you all so much for your time, and I look foward to your responses!

Re: Does HUMMER Offer a Scholarship?
GPA is different in most countries.
Here in B.C.
A: 86-100
B : 73-85
C+: 67-72
C: 60-66
C- : 50-59
I : 49 and below (temporary)
F : 49 and below (permanent)
Mine was 92 and I was hung over most of the time.

Re: Does HUMMER Offer a Scholarship?
Cool, im a freshman in college rite now. Gm does have some schoalrships and education programs, check out the link bellow. Whats your major? Where you going to school (college)? You think you gona get any financial aid from the FAFSA thing? Dependign on your major you can get scholarships from certain professional organizations such as AIAA (aerospace engineers), ASME (mechanical engineers) or whatever your major covers. I have several thousand dollars coming from these two institutions, i am not totaly sure but i beleive GM contributes to one if not both of these. i know the scholarship search can bring the suck even more than the college search. Its a little harder for white people to get scholarships than it is for any other race/color. but there is still plenty.
try scholarships.com, it gives you a wide array of finacial aide to select from.
with a 92, and desent act or sat score you will get plenty of aide to cover most of your costs. I left hs with a 4.89 donno what that equates to on your system, and 28 act and dont even remeber the sat, which was pretty average adn i got tons of money. Im only paying about $1000 out of pocket for a $38,000 a year college.
Good Luck!

If you're looking for a cheaper education, check out some of the schools you've got around the state that are part of the state university system. Usually, they offer a good in-state rate and they also will heap on scholarships for good students of local schools. I'm at a state university right now, but next fall I hope to be back in PA at a state school where the tuition is less than $7,000/year with the in-state discount. |

High school doesn't grade on a 0.0-4.0 scale like college. I have a 92 out of 100 GPA, in high school.

Re: Does HUMMER Offer a Scholarship?
My advice, DO NOT work for an American or Japanese Car Company....NEVER. I say Japanese too because in the near future, the Chinese and Koreans will be giving them a run for their money.
Better off being a Gynecologist or a Colo Rectal Surgeon, there are always openings.

Re: Does HUMMER Offer a Scholarship?
I suppose... (What you just said could have two meanings... )
But I would really like to work for HUMMER someday. That'd be great. I'm interested in marketing.
