Do you have some pre-conceived notions about receiving scholarships for college?  We’ve all heard the rumors out there.  Only the top academic students get scholarships.  Only those with great financial need can get free money.  But those statements are just NOT true!  To read a full list of 10 different scholarship myths and the real truth behind them, check out this article from the Chronicle of Higher Education. 

There are scholarships out there available for a variety of students.  The biggest obstacle keeping you from receiving one or more is yourself!  You have to search for them, and most importantly, you have to apply!  Don’t miss out on some great opportunities for FREE money because you think other people have a better chance of winning than you do.  Each scholarship has different criteria, and you could be perfect for some of them.  Spend an hour or two each week searching and applying for scholarships from now until the end of your senior year.  Devoting a solid amount of attention and energy to your scholarship cause could be the ticket you need to succeed.
