About

One thing that might be tougher than a breakup is paying for college tuition. Ex Back Permanently values education and wanted to find another avenue for helping people get through tough times.

For that, we’re offering a scholarship for both enrolled college students and students who were accepted to higher education institutions and will be attending for the first time. The $1000 Get Your Tuition Back Scholarship will be open to all majors. We’re inviting all college students to submit an application and essay for consideration.

The essay themes revolve around self-improvement, perseverance and communication; three characteristics that we believe to be vital to success in both college and the professional world that follows. Read through the application requirements and deadlines.
