Maybe you can’t throw a football fifty yards.
Maybe your grades do not reflect your real academic potential.
And, perhaps you haven’t been very involved in clubs and activities.
So, you’re a pretty bad bet for a college scholarship, right?
Don’t be so sure. In reality, there may be lots of scholarships for which you may qualify. But, you’ll have to actively look for them.
Your first stop should be your school’s guidance office. Most guidance offices maintain a list of scholarships awarded by local churches, businesses, and organizations, and the requirements for each.
Your next step should be to list every business and organization in which you or a family member are involved; businesses, clubs, churches, etc. Then, see which offer scholarships. You may be pleasantly surprised to see how much scholarship money they give away and how easy it is to be a potential recipient.
And then, go to the internet. You will find nearly seventy free, online scholarship searches.
By doing some research you’ll find not only scholarships for high academic performance, but also for particular talents, family affiliations, students wishing to major in specific areas, and countless other categories.
You will also find essay competitions and other scholarship contests you can enter.
Millions of dollars in scholarships are out there. Just do some research to find them, follow all directions carefully when applying for them, and be sure to adhere to all deadlines.
Good luck!
