Money for college

Since you’re only 15 years old, consider this…

It’s very unlikely that a school awards a scholarship for perfect attendance because…

A) it doesn’t do anything for the college. Colleges award scholarships for stats that help them with their rankings.

B) it couldn’t be awarded until after graduation.

Also, there’s no reason for an outside group to award such a scholarship.

If there were such a scholarship offered from some obscure school, it would likely be for such a low amount of money that it wouldn’t be worth attending the school.

If such a scholarship was offered by a private group, it’s likely that it would only be for a low amount and offered for only one year…hardly worth pursuing.

You would be much BETTER off spending this time making sure that your stats are scholarship-worthy…have a high GPA and high test scores. Then you will have many choices of schools to choose from AND the scholarship would be for more than one year. Focusing on the possibility of a small scholarship isn’t worth your time. If a scholarship is desired, focus on one that is more likely.
