Scholarships are a great way to help pay for college, technical school, and other postsecondary education—and unlike loans, scholarships generally do not have to be repaid. Seniors should begin searching and applying early and continue throughout the entire school year. Pay close attention to eligibility requirements and deadlines, and never pay a fee just to search for scholarships.

Students should also check the financial aid and scholarship page for each college they are considering, as many institutions offer their own scholarships.
