Scholarships and Financial Aid
Types of Scholarships
Academic Scholarships: Based solely on your ACT/SAT score and your GPA. Generally, you apply for these scholarships your senior year by submitting an admissions application to a college or university by the priority deadline. Priority deadlines are usually earlier than admissions deadlines.
|
Departmental Scholarships: If you know what you will be majoring in as a senior, contact that department and ask if they have scholarships for incoming freshman. Note: You may apply for these throughout your college experience!
|
General/Private Scholarships: Practically anyone or any organization or entity can create a scholarship and set the parameters for who can qualify. This is where you'll have to sift and dig to find the ones that you might qualify for. There are some great, free websites out there that help you do this. Keep in mind that you shouldn't ever have to pay to find scholarships or give out your social security number!
