Scholarship Advice:
- Remember that some scholarships go unawarded because no one applies for them. If you fit the eligibility requirements for a scholarship, go for it!
- Pay attention to those application deadline dates. There are close to 50 scholarships whose applications are due during the next month.
What if you have just missed the application deadline date? Call the school or organization and ask if they will accept a late application. Some schools will accept applications even after the deadline date. It certainly can't hurt to ask!
