She Got $100,000 In Scholarship Money, You Can Too!!!!!!!!

YoungPhenom4TheFuture,

Nice to hear from you!

You should apply for any scholarship you are eligible for; it does not matter whether the amount of the scholarship is $100 or $20,000. Money adds up. So, any scholarships, small or big, will lessen your financial burden for your college education.

I would recommend applying for the Gates Millenium Scholars Program, Toyota Community Scholars Program, and the USA Funds Access to Education Scholarship.

Look out for my new interactive site CareerVoices.com. I will have scholarship resources listed and tips to help you with the scholarship process.

I hope that helps!

tigerlady80,

Networking is so important in the scholarship process and life! In order to break the "impersonal" awkwardness, I would begin by setting up appointments with your instructors. This way you have their undivided attention. Start off by telling your instructors your college plans, your proposed major, your current search for money, etc. You want to establish a relationship, so give them information about yourself and listen to their responses.

In addition, you should have a tentative list of what you need to ask your instructor. Do you need a recommendation letter? Do you need help looking for local scholarships? Can they refer you to someone with a specific expertise? All this is preparation for a productive meeting.

Lastly, just be yourself! We are all human, so we all have a common ground. Coming soon is CareerVoices.com. The site will be able to give you additional tips about networking and be your "virtual" mentor in the scholarship search.

Thanks,

Bullshit. I've been in school for over five ****ing years and in applying to hundreds of scholarships the most I've done was be in a losing top 3% of 5000 people. The only people who win these scholarships are students already affiliated with this site. **** this
