10 Ways We Bet You Didn’t Know You Could Get a Gannon Scholarship
It’s no secret that college can be a financial burden on students and their families, but many schools – Gannon included – hit the mark on sending much-needed aid to students.
If you’ve already applied for scholarships outside of Gannon, don’t think you’ve exhausted all routes for finding extra cash for college. The college itself offers many scholarship and aid opportunities that many outside sources like FastWeb don’t give you (although FastWeb is still a great place to start). Read on for ten ways we bet you didn’t know you could get a Gannon scholarship.

LAN Parties Intrigue Editor – And Not Just For the Pizza
When I came to Gannon, I found out we have a student chapter of the worldwide Association for Computing Machinery, or ACM. Upon hearing the name, I decided the club wasn’t for me. I assumed it was a club based on designing computer software and hardware.
I was right – but there’s much more to it. I’m glad I opened my mind and tried something new.
Gannon’s ACM focuses mostly on promoting everything related to computers and computer science. The club members, who can be any major, give lectures on computer programming languages used to write computer software – like Scheme and NetBeans – participate in programming competitions and host LAN parties.

Eternal Sunshine: The “Between” Phase
There is always that time between Christmas, New Year’s and going back to school that feels sort of strange. I mean – don’t get me wrong – I’ll take all the days off I can get before packing up and heading back north! But still, it’s that time after getting and giving presents where you finish writing thank you notes, take the Christmas CD out of the car and try to get your head set up for the upcoming semester.
