Want a scholarship? Doubt that you have what it takes to earn a scholarship? Don’t know where to look? Scholarships can be based on a variety of aspects: GPA, involvement in high school or college activities, creativity, writing abilities, artistic abilities, financial need, and even miscellaneous things such as a creating a creative video about yourself!
Everyone and anyone can earn a scholarship, you just have to take the first steps and start looking. Filing out scholarship applications can be tedious and precursors to headaches and irritability, but consider this: an hour spent filling out a scholarship application could result in a $1,000 reward. Just think, $1,000 (or more!) for only an hour’s worth of work! That’s more than a doctor or lawyer makes in an hour!
Below are just a few of the many available scholarships out there:
