Mike would be 65 years old in a few months time. The manager wanted to organise his retirement party and to make sure that the company gave Mike something appropriate for all of the years he had loyally worked there.

Generally speaking, if a site that is offering a scholarship is asking for money up front as part of the application process, stay away from it and look elsewhere. If they state afterwards that you have been awarded the scholarship but you need to first send a disbursement fee to claim it, then it's also probably a scam.
At first, Mike pottered around at home and took a few photos. He did miss the company of his fellow workers but he was reasonably content with his life. As time went by and he began to wonder if this was all that was left for him to do. He was becoming increasingly bored and needed something to keep him active, both mentally and physically. He would like to do more with the camera but didn't have skills to make full use of it.
This type of scholarship ranges from $500 to $5,000 for semester long trips and it is worth applying for several at a time, and apply very early as competition can be fierce. Some of these scholarships are for those in financial need, for minorities, first generation students or students of a particular heritage, such as those from Russia, Hungary or Palestine. It all depends on which country you would like to attend and at which particular college. It is important to realise that you must be proficient in the language of that country or your education will suffer. Some colleges only offer certain courses but again, your search will identify these for you.
Later in the day, he sat at his laptop and entered some keywords in the browser. He was surprised and pleased that he was able to find a link in his State which enabled senior citizens, who are resident in the State, to apply for 2 year college courses where the tuition fee is waived. There was a college fairly nearby and so he wouldn't have to worry about additional living expenses.
