Finding College Scholarships
There are thousands of scholarships available to students entering college each year. Along with grants and loans, scholarships can provide a nice piece to the financial aid puzzle. This article will talk about some of the common misconceptions about scholarships, the main types of scholarships and where to find a college scholarship.
Scholarship Misconceptions:
#1 I have to have really good grades to get a scholarship.
While some scholarships require a certain grade level, there are many that do
not. Some may have a sliding grade scale in comparison to SAT or ACT test scores.
Additionally, there are many need-based scholarships that don’t have a
grade requirement.
#2 I can fund my college education with scholarships alone.
There is a misconception that all scholarships are “full ride” or,
will pay all of a year’s tuition. Scholarship dollar awards vary quite
dramatically. Some are as little as a few hundred dollars, while others are indeed “full
ride.” You should apply for as many scholarships as you qualify for since
you will have to factor in tuition, room and board, food, books, lab fees and
many other costs as well. In addition to scholarships, every college student
should complete a Federal Financial Aid Form to determine eligibility for grants
and loans.
#3 Scholarships are too hard to get.

accountants are in a bank, when armed
robbers burst in. While several of the robbers
take the money from the tellers, others line the
customers, including the accountants, up against
a wall and proceed to take their wallets, watches,
etc. While this is going on accountant #1 jams
something in accountant #2's hand. Without
looking down, accountant #2 whispers, "What
