West Virginia University

"Working with Vector has taught me that I can achieve more than I could imagine, as long as I have a strong enough reason why I'm going after a big goal. Vector has taught me how to be more responsible with my money, and also how to manage larger quantities of money, how to invest and save money, and also how to budget money at a young age. It also taught me if you have a job you love, you will never work a day in your life!"

"Working with Vector has taught me that I can do every single thing I want in life with careful planning and time management. It is not if I can do something - it is how. I just finished my largest campaign to date, while raising my GPA."

Marquise Soto

Hofstra University

"Winning the All-American Scholarship this semester is huge. I was able to achieve this while handling more than I've ever handled in semesters past. It is very rewarding to watch all of my efforts in school and work come together. I'm very grateful to work for a company that allows me the freedom that Vector does."

"Winning a scholarship would mean a lot to me. I've spent the last four years working with Vector in order to earn enough money to pay for school and be financially free. This scholarship would be the 'cherry on top' to end my college experience. Winning this scholarship would be very fulfilling as I've witnessed countless students win them over and over and can't wait to add this achievement to my list of college accomplishments."

Nova Southeastern U

"I started working for Vector in May of 2017 because I was tired of working in retail at Starbucks, making minimum wage. I asked my friend at UF to get me an interview with his boss because he was bragging about how much money he made the previous summer selling Cutco in North Carolina. I interviewed with Joe Ciurca and on July 4th, 2017. I quit my job at Starbucks to sell full time around classes."

"My story is just like any other Vector representative's out there; working with the company during school to help pay for it and achieve my long term goals. Vector has reaffirmed my previous belief that you can make any result as long as you believe it and give it your all."

Zach Molzer

Johnson
Central
U of Nebraska - Lincoln

"I work hard just like everyone but I have a special determination and when I set a goal, I will get there. Vector has taught me how to take 'no' as an answer and how to develop my interpersonal relationships with everyone."

Henry Volkmann

St. Louis
Central
Missouri U of Science and Technology

"Vector has taught me to rely on myself - with determination, nothing is out of reach. Winning the All-American Scholarship would reaffirm that I am capable of doing anything by being devoted to my goals."

Robert Farruggio

Fairfield CT
Northeast
Sacred Heart University

"Vector has taught me the importance of planning ahead and building goals that are measurable. Winning an All-American Scholarship would be an honor as a result of setting and achieving measurable goals."

Oliver Carlson

Boston North
Northeast
U of Massachusetts - Lowell

"I have been taught a lot about how to approach life and business. I believe that a 'how can I' approach to life versus 'what if' is the biggest lesson I have learned from Vector. With this lesson in mind I feel any problem is much more manageable, any situation can be dealt with and there is nothing in life that is unbeatable. I feel I can set much higher goals and not worry about what might happen if I fall short."
