Another word from your your
THINKHBCU.ORG host. Although I was able to earn two degrees and walk
across the stage with a zero
balance twice, it required a lot
of work on my part to make that happen. This is an exception to the rule.
You have to be willing to make some personal sacrifices if you do
not want to graduate from college with a ton of student loans to repay.
If you are a senior in high school you
should try to apply for at least four scholarships a month.
If
you can maintain this discipline throughout your senior year you will have
applied for at least 36 scholarships prior to graduation.
To my
college students: If you are receiving refunds from your college
for the loans that you have taken out be mindful of the fact that you will
need that money in the future. In
other words, no money...no classes!

You
heard it on the radio. Millions of dollars in scholarship money
goes unclaimed every year! There are basically three ways in
which you can pay for your college education. Those three options
are scholarships, grants and loans. The firs two options do not have to be
repaid after you graduate from college. However, if you borrow money,
which are called loans, to attend college you must pay that money back with interest upon graduation or withdrawal
from school. Before you filled out any paperwork for a school loan
please make sure that you have applied for every scholarships and financial aid
grant that you think you might be eligible for. It
is important that you adhere to all application deadlines to increase the
chances of having your application request honored. |

DO
NOT PAY FOR SCHOLARSHIP FINDER SERVICES. THESE INDIVIDUALS AND
ORGANIZATIONS CANNOT GUARANTEE YOU THAT THEY WILL FIND YOU ANY
SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL AID. WHAT
THEY TEND TO DO IS SEND YOUR NAME AND INFORMATION TO SCHOLARSHIP
ORGANIZATIONS THAT WILL SEND YOU AN APPLICATION FORM TO FILL OUT AND
SUBMIT FOR CONSIDERATION. YOU
CAN DO THIS ON YOUR OWN AND SAVE YOUR MONEY FOR SCHOOL.
