Every student who plans to attend an institution of higher education should search for and apply for scholarships. This applies to all students, including high school students, non-traditional students, current college students, graduate students, etc. Some students have ideas about why they won’t get scholarships. They think that there are no scholarships out there for students with less than outstanding grade point averages. Not every scholarship provider is looking for an academically gifted or actively involved student.
One thing is certain, though: you won't win the scholarship if you don't apply. So take action now! Deadlines are fast approaching.
