Apply to Berea college as soon as you have an ACT score (the ACT is trying to develop a “test from home” test). It’s an excellent college dedicated to lower income students. You automatically get a full tuition scholarship and work to help pay for room& board. This system is possible thanks to alumni who did well and payvbzck what the College did for them.
The best scholarships come from the colleges themselves. If you graduated among the best students in your top school, run the NPC on universities such as Williams, Grinnell, Pomona, Dickinson, Hamilton, Denison.
What did you do with your time when you weren’t in school? Colleges will be interested in what you can bring to campus life’ it can be a job, helping your family, practicing art or a sport…
@mom2collegekids : op might be interested in escaping a country where the president brags of shooting people dead and where college students mysteriously disappear. There’s also a huge difference between universities in the US and universities in the Philippines wrt to teaching/learning conditions.
Thank you so much! I’ll check them out as soon as I can. I’m actually feature editor of our school’s newsletter and my teachers say I’m a pretty good writer.
