QuitDay.Org - Vaping Scholarship for Ex-Smokers April 12 2016
Vaping Scholarship Background
From lung cancer to heart diseases to asthma to stroke to infertility, name any disease and you’ll find smoking as one of the major causes behind it. If that doesn’t alarm you, consider this: smoking has killed many times more people than all the fatalities in American wars combined. We at QuitDay.org realize that smokers are at a never-ending war against their addiction. So, we want to challenge vapers to share their story of how they successfully replaced smoking with vaping, and how it improved their overall health.
Vaping Scholarship Details and Awards
Three lucky winners are selected every year, who receive $2,000, $700 and $300, respectively for first second and third place. The scholarship award can be used to pay for college tuition, education-related expenses or other self-development needs. The best thing is, it’s easy, without any annoying prerequisites, and absolutely free to apply for everyone.
