Home | Reference & Education | College And University Maybe you are not in the top ten percent of your class. And, maybe you have not held leadership positions in school clubs and activities. So, you're a pretty bad bet for a college scholarship, right? Not so fast. In fact, you may qualify for a number of scholarships. But, you have to do some research. First, go to your guidance counselor. Chances are, he or she will have information on dozens of scholarships (or more) offered by businesses and organizations in and near your hometown, and how to apply for them. 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. The more you look, the more you'll find not just standard scholarships for academic achievement, but also scholarships for students affiliated with particular groups, students whose family members work for a particular company, students who wish to enter specific professions, and scholarships in dozens of other categories. There are even scholarships you can win by writing an essay or participating in an academic competition. 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! Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
