Doing scholarship research during the December/January school break is a great use of your time. Applying for scholarships is a time-consuming endeavor. When it becomes a family effort, then students can make the scholarship application process feel much more manageable. The more scholarships that students apply to the more opportunities students may have to receive them. Students need to apply to many to get a few. The timeframe of searching for scholarships can start as early as 9th grade and go through all of your college years. 

Our scholarship support includes providing families with an overview of how to research scholarships, assistance in finding scholarships, and a better understanding of the different types of scholarships.
