Its May.
I’m betting most of you are ready to get out of high school right? Well, you’re obviously not far from graduation for most of you. The excitement is building. The anticipation for what will be. The anxiety for what if, what happens when.
As exciting as this and your need for some relaxation this summer surely will follow, but there is something that you must do first, if you haven’t: Making sure you actually have money to pay for college!
Here’s the deal…at this point, if you’re planning to attend college in the Fall ’10, then you may have already figured out (or your parents have). If not, there is still time.
Not a lot of time because at this point of the year most financial aid from the government, special/private loans and work-study may have already been allocated.
You might be in luck…might…
Because there are surprisingly millions of dollars in scholarships that goo unclaimed. For the past couple posts so far, I’ve been providing you all with different scholarships that I found quite legitimate due to my visits, as well diverse in its target audience.
