PHOENIX, June 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GradGuard, the authority in helping protect students and their families from the risks of college life through its pioneering tuition and renters insurance programs, is pleased to announce the winners of its inaugural scholarship program, awarding $3,000 each to five outstanding students across the country.
As part of its mission to help schools educate and protect students from the risks of college life, GradGuard launched the no-essay scholarship program to highlight the importance of being prepared for the unexpected.
