Stop Throwing Away College Scholarship Money
Do you try to save money at the grocery store?, Do you shop for the lowest price on all the things you want and need?,
Do you throw away thousands of dollars on college tuition?
The answer to this last question is most likely yes if you are not looking for and applying for college scholarships. The fact is most Americans love a good deal when they see one, but when it comes to trying to save money on college tuition, people overlook the obvious, college scholarships.
College scholarships are available to virtually anyone of any background, interest and intelligence. You don’t need to have a perfect or near perfect GPA; you don’t need to excel in sports; and you don’t even need to be a high school student or college student to qualify for many. College scholarships vary and more people qualify for many scholarships despite what they might think.

Specific instructions regarding format and content must also be strictly adhered to, and applicants should resist any temptation to “bend the rules” or treat guidelines as mere suggestions. Many applications get thrown out without consideration because of a failure to follow the written requirements, so consider part of the scholarship application to be a test in following directions.
Optional materials should be included, but only if the instructions specify that optional materials can be included. Some programs want to receive the exact same forms from each applicant so before you record a video or audio supplement make sure it is allowed and encouraged by the program. When including digital documents with a scholarship or college application, submit the files in a format recommended in the instructions. If no file format is suggested, include several of the most common types.
