Money for College...It Doesn't Come for Free

Sunday November 30, 2008

While many of you High School Seniors are finishing up your college applications, it seems a good time to start hunting around for scholarship money. Since college tuition is increasing at a significantly higher rate than inflation, college isn't as inexpensive as it once was. The more you get in scholarship and grant money, the less you have to pay pack once you get out of school.

So, where do you go for scholarships? Well, many Christian teens have no idea where to look. There are plenty of websites that offer scholarship listings, but it also helps to talk to people at your church, local businesses, and even go to the library. Plus, you want to make sure you avoid scholarship scams that are only interested in taking your money rather than helping you pay for school.

Also, plan your free time wisely. Most scholarship applications take time and effort to fill out, so be sure you are able to give each one some good attention. The more effort you put into you scholarship and grant applications, the more successful you will be at raising money for college.
