Scholarship Tips for High School Freshmen
Your scholarship search should start now! Every dollar you earn now will be less money that you have to pay or take out in student loan debt!
One of the best ways to win college-specific merit scholarships is through a strong academic record. Keep up your grades and take the most challenging classes you can!
