Using and sharing scholarship resources

If there are websites, blogs and services that are providing you with scholarships and financial aid resources, then you should do your part as well. What exactly is your part? It’s helping others find financial aid. Doing this is beneficial for for a few reasons. What may not work for you can definitely work for someone else. An example of this is Fastweb. You maybe a person who doesn’t like using fastweb, but you have a friend who has never heard of it. You can inform them of fastweb and what it is designed to do. Me on the other hand I tell people about services that I use myself including the mentioned above, scholarship experts and College Week Live. Another way it can be beneficial is someone may pass along some valuable financial aid information also.

Feel good about finding scholarships

Finding scholarships is like doing a crossword or a word search. It’s right there in front of you and the more you attempt it the closer you come to getting it. You may have a 800 page scholarship book that you bought, but the trouble is your overwhemled. The longest book you have read may be a quarter of that length. So you quickly become discouraged. Instead of going through the book page by page, you skim and skip around. And that scho larship that is meant for you becomes overlooked. So take your time and make time to read over a specific number of pages a few times a night so that it doesn’t overwhelm you. I taught a class the other day and I really stressed the importance of taking your time to read, that way you actually find what your supposed to.

For me it honestly feels good to help people. It feels fantastic to help people find scholarships especially with the cost of tuition being so high. I think it’s ironic how people are complaining about how high the cost of college is because I have always thought college was outragously expensive. I was going to go to school for a few computer certifications before I got my scholarship and that tuition was $10,000 for the whole program and I thought that was expensive. But in closing make sure you pay attention to the descriptions of scholarships and don’t just skim over them. Especially if it’s an email from fastweb. It may be something that is very reasonable for you to do like write an essay about how tough it is to find financial aid. Also with scholarships don’t assume that there is 1 grand prize winner. A lot of times there are more than one scholarship given out in various amounts. Good Luck!
