Apply for Scholarships

It can pay to be a student.
As a college student, you have the unique opportunity of receiving scholarship money; all you have to do is apply for it. I strongly recommend this to you, especially if you are a hard working student and you can write a decent essay.

How to apply for scholarships
The first thing you need to do is make accounts on scholarships.com and fastweb.com. These websites suggest scholarships for you to apply for depending on your unique profile. After that, simply search for scholarships and apply for them. Most scholarships require you to write an essay. This is the only potentially time consuming part of applying, but taking your essays to your university’s writing center can both decrease the time you spend on them and increase the quality of your essays.

Also make sure to keep your eyes open for scholarships that your college offers. Many students do not know about them, or do not bother to apply, and their mistake can turn into your profit.

Do not be discouraged if your first five, ten or even twenty applications are denied. It only takes one $1000 or $2000 scholarship to make it all worth it. Persistence is key!

  1. This is a great and definitely over looked way to make money. I applied for a scholarship with no expectations and actually received $4,000. It was a departmental scholarship in my college. I would suggest applying for departmental scholarships that are with in your major, there will usually be less people applying giving you a better chance.

  2. If your school offers you scholarship money, often times, you can write a letter of appeal including reasons why you deserve or need more money. They will consider your reasons and this could increase your annual scholarship. I did this and got $6000 more annually which made a huge difference.
