A new list…
Every few months I like to post a couple of articles and lists of scholarships available and scholarship websites that I find through the research I do or general information regarding college financing, funding and scholarships that is available.
Some unique scholarships…
This list is pretty cool as it’s specifically targeted toward certain degrees, careers and big corporations that are posting and offering scholarships. Most of these come from UTPA site (https://portal.utpa.edu/portal/page/portal/utpa_main/dess_home/sfs_home/SFS_home_images/Scholarships_Avail.pdf) and offers a lot of diversity in the people they target.
It might be too late for many of these scholarships now. But whether you are a senior this year, or will be next year. Or if you are a college student now, it’s not too late to start searching for scholarships now and keep a running list!
Tip 1: Proper preparation make a production person- if you prepare yourself early enough you could go to college for free.
Tip 2: Make sure you check out all requirements on these scholarships.
Tip 3: Many of you are eligible simply because of the degree you are going to school for.
Tip 4: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Apply for as many scholarships as you are eligible for.
Tip 5: Let them do the work for you! Go to many of the websites (listed below)
Tip 6: Remember to check back here all the time for the latest and greatest on tips and guidelines you NEED when applying for scholarships.
So, here they are…
This list is pretty cool to look into. I checked out all these sites and they seem pretty easy to understand and legit. Check them out. Who knows what you could find now available as current scholarships, or what you can prepare yourself for next year. I’m telling you, the more you prepare, the better off you will be for paying for college…even all of it.
Check out this list. I’ll post another list in a couple days. Check these out and be sure to subscribe to my blog for the latest on scholarships.
This list is published from a website from UTPA.com and they seem to have it together!
