Do you want to know what breaks my heart? When highly qualified students contact me – in a panic – in August and ask me if I know of any scholarships because their tuition is due in a week. ugh. I can feel the pain.
If you are not aware, NOW is the time to apply for most scholarships if you need money for fall college enrollment. January, February and March have more scholarship deadlines than other times of the year. Why? Because the scholarship providers need time to review the applications and make their decisions before school’s out. Students want to know before they head off to college how much money they have to help pay the bills. This timing also coincides with preferred financial aid deadlines at many colleges.
If you haven’t started applying for scholarships yet, don’t wait or you will miss out on the money!
If you need a tool to help you, please get my book, Scholarships 101: The Real-World Guide to Getting Cash for College. It’s full of street-smart advice, organizational tools and time-saving tips. C’mon, all the cool kids are doing it.
