<p>Since I don’t have to pay money to go to high school, so I don’t think I can apply for high school scholarship, but college will cost me a lot of money and I’m worrying about it. Can I apply for college scholarship in my 10th grade year? I don’t have a lot of extracurricular activities or leadership, president of class,… Is there a scholarship for me if I only have a brain and good grade, GPA?</p>
<p>If you have a good GPA, and you do well on the ACT or SAT exam, there will be colleges and universities that offer you scholarship money. Read the threads in this forum that are on the topic of merit-based aid for some good ideas.</p>
<p>Most colleges and universities will expect your family to pay something for your education. Sit your parents down and talk with them about how much they are ready, willing, and able to pay, how they feel about you working during the school year and in the summers, and what they think about student loans. Pick a couple colleges and universities that you like right now, and ask your parents to help you run the Net Price Calculators so that you can get an idea of what the colleges will expect them to pay.</p>
<p>Yes but that means you would have to work your butt off and keep your GPA up and have your grades consistent. I had a friend apply and she got into Carnegie Melon…</p>
