Scholarships

It’s never too late to begin the search for college scholarships. Scholarships provide an opportunity for people to earn an education. Without assistance from an outside source, students may have trouble paying for the degree. Without the burden of Finance on students' minds lowered, scholarships help them have more time to focus on their studies.

• Scholarships.com is another site you can create an account for to get personalized scholarship recomendations.


• Niche not only has scholarships but also has a place where you can create a list of colleges you're interested in.


• Bold also allows you to create an account, where you can earn points by completing certain tasks, which "unlocks" more scholarships.


• Scholarship Owl works similarly to Niche and Bold, where there are tons of essay and non-essay scholarships you can apply to.


• Scholarships America is another overall great resource!

Volunteering

Having good grades is important, but it is equally important to be well-rounded. One of the best ways to do this in College and beyond is volunteering. Not only will this be a great resume-builder, but you are taking part in a purpose greater than yourself. That being said, it’s not about how much time you can give, but about the love you pour from your heart into what you do.

These search browsers will allow you to look up almost any volunteer opportunity out there!
