Columbia, MO (PRWEB) July 25, 2012

StorageMart self storage announced today the winners of the StorageMart ‘ScholarSmarts’ program. The scholarship award is designed to reward students from any level of higher education in the United States or Canada who may not otherwise find themselves eligible for more “traditional” scholarships. The program will provide five students with $1,000 gifts.

Recipients of the Fall 2012 ScholarSmarts Scholarships are:

•     Gloria Cardona of the University of Texas-Pan American (Edinburg, Texas)
•     Val Andrew Fajardo of the University of Waterloo (Waterloo, Ontario)
•     Mike Wilson of the University of Victoria (Victoria, British Columbia)
•     Chandler Smith of the New York Film Academy
•     Ashley Deutsch, currently of Ennis (TX) High School and the University of Texas-Arlington this fall

Recipients were chosen on the basis of essays written answering the question “What link is there between a clutter-free workspace and increased productivity” or “How has self storage improved your lifestyle”. Winning essays have been published to the Storage Insider, StorageMart’s blog sites. The winning essays were chosen from a pool of nearly 2,000 submissions.

ScholarSmarts differs from many scholarship programs in that its eligibility is open to any student enrolled at any college, university, apprenticeship program or other institution of higher learning. This open eligibility was designed to allow for a wide spectrum of students, but particularly non-traditional students, to apply.

Additionally, the $1,000 gifts are given directly to the recipients, allowing for their use toward any expenses involved with the pursuit of higher education, whether they be tuition, books, rent/mortgage or even child care.

StorageMart will launch another ScholarSmarts program leading up to the beginning of the winter semester 2013. Stay tuned for updates on the company’s Facebook page and Twitter @StorageMart.
