MARLBOROUGH, MA--(Marketwire - January 12, 2010) - BrainTrack, a widely referenced higher-education resource, today announced the Fall 2009 winners for its BrainTrack Business Schools Scholarship (http://www.braintrack.com/colleges-by-career/general-managers#scholarship), a twice yearly scholarship for business degree students that is designed to help future students. The winners are Coral Dickerson of Shasta College in Redding, CA, who received the $1,000 first-place award, and Laura Thompson of Eastern Oregon University in LeGrande, OR, who received a $500 second-place award.

"Through its essays BrainTrack's Business Schools Scholarship program offers those considering business career paths the helpful perspectives and experiences of real students," said David Siegel, Vice President of Operations with BrainTrack's publisher, Futuremeld, LLC. "We are publishing a selection of these essays as student stories. The winners were chosen for the creativity, thoughtfulness, and usefulness of their entries."

"School is expensive, and my finances are stretched very thin, so I am very grateful for any extra help I can get," said first-place BrainTrack Business Schools Scholarship winner Coral Dickerson, who plans to graduate in 2012 with a Bachelor's Degree in Business from Shasta College. Her winning essay addressed obstacles that previously interfered with achieving her goals and encouraged future students to never give up on their dreams.

BrainTrack Business Schools Scholarship runner up Laura Thompson has completed two years towards her Bachelor in Business Administration from Eastern Oregon University. In her essay, she recommended that future business students decide what's important to them and then find a program that supports their goals.
