earn a scholarship

Applying for scholarships can be difficult and frustrating especially when the competition is high. My junior year I made it a goal to apply to every scholarship I was legitimately eligible for, it was kind of crazy but the drive and motivation can pay off. In the end I only received one, but it covered a good portion of my tuition for the year so I’m really grateful.

My advice is to look online for national or regional scholarships through third-party websites (there can be a lot of applicants for these though). I’ve had the most success with resources and the financial aid office at my own university and with more local scholarships. Get involved, put effort into your applications, make deadlines early and keep trying you never know what might happen :)

I have a Bright Futures scholarship, but school is still very expensive! I’m hoping that through my grades and other activities, I may be able to earn another one this year. I’ll cross my fingers :D

worked my ass off in highschool and now thanks to the Brights Future scholarship and an FSU grant I go to school for FREE …. yay.

So I won our po-dunk town’s scholarship program a.k.a. Miss Trimont. It’ll probably be a scholarship that amounts to half a credit, but technically it is money for school, and I did win it.

I have applied for countless scholarships…

But, nothing.

I’m a Semi-Finalist for one scholarship… it’s a really competitive one, though. =( I hope I make it to the end.

Both recommendation letters are in. Now, I wait to see if I make it to the next round…

Well, my application is done… I am just waiting for 1 of 2 recommendation letters to be sent in. Crossing my fingers!

I finally found one that I have a decent chance of winning. I need to set aside some time to get the application done. A scholarship for my last semester of college would be really great…

i want to find a scholarship so i can go to college!!!!! aahh!
