With DoubleTake, when a student wins, so does their school. Each time Wachovia Education Finance awards a student with a $2,500 scholarship, their accredited school will also win an additional $2,500 for their general scholarship fund.
“DoubleTake is a unique program that not only rewards winning students, but awards an additional $2,500 scholarship to their school to be used to assist other students in need,” stated Robin Johnson, Vice President of Marketing for Wachovia Education Finance. “With four drawings for 2005, it’s one more way Wachovia is helping families cover the costs of education.”
Wachovia’s commitment to higher education is stronger than ever, with over $1 million donated to Teach for America in 2004 and a suite of sweepstakes programs that have awarded nearly a quarter of a million dollars in scholarships this year alone.
Wachovia Education Finance was rated first in technology and customer service in a recent survey of college Financial Aid offices conducted by one of the nation’s top consulting firms.
