Paying for College


	Paying for College
	Do not pay for scholarship finder services. These individuals and organizations cannot guarantee you that they will find you any scholarships or financial aid. What they do in most cases is send your name and information to scholarship organizations that will in turn send you an application form to fill out and return for consideration. You can do this on your own and save your money for school.

	Although I was able to earn two degrees and walk across the stage with a zero balance twice! It required a lot of work on my part to make that happen. This outcome is an exception to the rule. You have to be willing to make some personal sacrifices if you do not want to graduate from college with a ton of student loans to repay. If you are a senior in high school you should be applying for at least If you can maintain this discipline throughout your senior year you will have applied for at least 32 scholarships prior to graduation. To my college students: If you are receiving refunds checks *In other words, no money...no classes...no degree!*
	Scholarships and Grants = Free Money!
	You heard it on the radio. Millions of dollars in scholarship money goes unclaimed every year! There are basically three ways in which you can pay for your college education. Those three options are scholarships, grants and loans. The firs two options do not have to be repaid after you graduate from college. However if you borrow money which are called loans to attend college you must pay that money back with interest upon graduation or withdrawal from school. Before you filled out any paperwork for a school loan please make sure that you have applied for every scholarships and financial aid grant that you think you might be eligible for. Work smart and not hard. Take your SAT and/or ACT test in the fall of your senior year. Start applying for scholarships at the beginning of your senior year of high school. It is important that you adhere to all application deadlines to increase the chances of having your application request honored.

	In addition to the scholarship links provided also inquire about scholarships from:
	Local Businesses and Foundations
	Your Church and other Community Organizations
	Local Fraternity, Sorority and Social Organizations
	National Fraternity and Sorority Organizations
