Scholarships are awards for financial aid to help students pay for college expenses. Sometimes a scholarship is a one-time check. Sometimes schools offer scholarships that are renewable and provide money for students each semester or school year. These awards differ from student loans in that they don't have to be repaid.
There are a few scholarships that are offered in the fall but majority of the scholarships roll in during the new year. Check back with us in January!
