Paying for college is expensive! Whether you're going to a trade school, community college or four-year college or university, there are many financial opportunities out there. The amount of awarded money can vary greatly and are based on different requirements like GPA, financial need, intended major (just to name a few.) Regional, national and international scholarships can require different application criteria (for example, short essay, letter of recommendation, transcript, etc.) Looking for scholarships can be time-consuming, but stay persistent and continue to search for opportunities!
