Success is not something that “just happens” to you or something you can buy. To become successful in life, it takes hard work, determination, and a plan for success. And perhaps no one understands this better than Spurs superstar Manu Ginobili.

That’s why Manu has chosen to become Hallmark’s official spokesperson. Manu understands that with hard work and determination, Hallmark Institute can lead you down the path to success and great achievement with a career in Aviation Technology, Business Administration, Electronics, Medical Assistant, or Computer Networking.

Manu wants you to realize your dreams of having a great career that pays and will be awarding full scholarships to Hallmark Institute.

Five (5) deserving applicants with a desire to further their education in an applied science-based program will each be awarded with a full scholarship from Manu Ginobili. Scholarship is only available for use at Hallmark Institute of Aeronautics or Hallmark Institute of Technology. All winners will be invited to a Spurs game and be presented with a check on-court from Manu Ginobili. To find out if Hallmark is right for you, please visit their website at www.hallmarkinstitute.com or call (210) 690-9000 today.

Minimum requirements for scholarship eligibility are:

3.2 GPA
2 letters of recommendation

Sorry to butt in like this, but a .edu web address doesn't mean that the school is not-for-profit. I don't know in Texas, but here in Utah all of our schools/colleges have a .edu web address and they all make a chunk of change (be it private or public). Also, isn't that the idea of giving a scholarship? To support kids who want to attend this type of expensive technical schools but wouldn't have a chance to do so otherwise.

Yeah, Manu gets paid to promote Hallmark. Hallmark is using Manu's popularity to promote itself by giving away scholarships.

It's all about public relations and marketing. But, who really cares?

If doing something good helps market a company...well, good for them. They get good PR outta it, and some kids get scholarships. Sounds like a win-win to moi.

Viva capitalism.
