Some of you out there may be wondering about different ways that you can reach out to the college population to help them out and get interested in the non profit sector.  There are several different paths you can choose.
A popular option is to offer a scholarship.  This does not have to be much, only a few hundred dollars.  For college students trying to pay for school any money is a help to them.  If using a scholarship you should set up requirements.  You can have the applicants write and essay about something to do with the nonprofit sector or to come up with a plan to help some area of your nonprofit.  These options are really endless and all that is required is for you to just be a little creative.  You can even contact some colleges in a certain mile radius and see if they can put your scholarship in the list of scholarships that many schools have.  This will help to inform more college age people about nonprofits and get a number of them interested in joining the nonprofit sector after they graduate.
