Scholarship Hunting Advice
« on: March 16, 2015, 09:19:16 am »

As it reads. I am a 19 y/o license-less (Tried 5 times) high-schooler looking for scholarships. I've set up an account, but I'm nervous. I'd rather not mess something up or get into hot water while going for scholarships. What were your experiences while you were trying to apply for scholarships and such, and what is some advice you could relay to assist the process?

My advice, apply for every scholarship or grant that you meet the criteria for. Obviously, don't waste time applying for money that's intended for specific groups (Women studying hard sciences, low-income minorities, etc.) unless you actually belong to the group the money is intended for. The only ways to really get into hot water with a scholarship application are by lying on the application, or doing something like taking the money then not going to school. And it's pretty hard to mess up anything with a scholarship application beyond your chances of getting the particular scholarship you're applying for.
