FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Three students selected as national scholarship winners
COLUMBIA, MISSOURI - June 2, 2014 – Lillian Ross of Las Vegas, NV, Omar Ziadeh of Silver Springs, NV, and Brandon Garnaat of Alto, MI have been named the 2014 winners of the SuretyBonds.com Small Business Success Student Scholarship Program.
Each of these students will receive a $1,500 scholarship to put toward their higher education endeavors. The winners were chosen as three of 10 finalists from a pool of more than 500 applicants. From there, the public voted via the custom SuretyBonds.com Facebook voting app to choose Ross, Ziadeh and Garnaat as the scholarship recipients. To apply for the award, each applicant submitted an original essay about how small business ownership (whether personally or through a parent, grandparent or legal guardian) shaped them into the person they are today.
SuretyBonds.com is a nationwide surety bond producer that helps business professionals from a variety of industries comply with local licensing laws. Because many of these professionals are small business owners, SuretyBonds.com understands the value these individuals add not only to the economy but also to their communities. To show appreciation, the company is paying it forward with a nationwide scholarship program to reward students who have personal experience with small business.
When asked to explain the motivation behind the scholarship program, SuretyBonds.com founder and CEO Josh Kayser said, “Ninety-nine percent of our clients can be classified as small business owners. Working with them every day — combined with being a small business owner myself — has given me a unique perspective of the struggles job creators in this country face every day. Running a business is tough, and it’s only been getting tougher these past few years. We’re blessed to be in a position of growth, so this scholarship program is our way of giving back to those who are on the ground floor, creating jobs, and fighting the good fight right along with us.”
This is the second set of scholarships awarded to students by SuretyBonds.com. The SuretyBonds.com Small Business Success Student Scholarship Program was established in 2013 and runs annually. The application for the 2015 scholarship season will become available in November 2014 at http://www.suretybonds.com/scholarships.
