Scholarships
Scholarship are gifts. They don’t need to be repaid. Students are encouraged to apply for national, state, regional and community scholarships. There are thousands of them, offered by colleges, employers, individuals, private companies, nonprofits, ethnic groups, religious groups, and professional and social organizations. Scholarships are awarded based on merit, ethnic background, community service, leadership, school activities and personal interests. Colleges often offer scholarship money. Check out the financial aid office from the colleges you are applying to. Make sure you talk to college representatives, admission counselors and specific departments in the college (e.g. music, biology departments). Sometimes the application for scholarships may be different from the admission applications.
