SCHOLARSHIP TIPS
- Start searching for scholarships as soon as possible.
- LISTEN for announcements! Local scholarships are still rolling in.
- Your schools of interest are important sources of scholarship information. Check their websites or contact the financial aid office for information on specific scholarships the school offers.
- Watch deadlines like a hawk. We will never know how much scholarship money is lost simply because the applicant missed the deadline. Use a calendar and checklist to get organized.
- Watch for scholarship scams. There are many scam artists who try to make money off gullible students.

- Think outside the box when it comes to your scholarship search. Consider your family, lifestyle, interests, hobbies, medical status, religion, college major and more when looking for potential scholarship activities. The first in your family to attend college? They have scholarship opportunities for that! Really take time to brainstorm, and consider asking for your parents’ input. Your family background can qualify you for a plethora of college scholarships.
- Look for scholarships that speak to your career goals and/or your major.
- Look in your own community and ask around to see who is providing college tuition assistance in your area. This may include your father’s employer, the factory you worked at one summer, or the local chamber of commerce.
