<p>The HS class of ‘07 is busy right now with college appications, SATs, and ACTs. I just want to add another item to your list to add to your workload - scholarship applications. There are many deadlines for the various scholarships available so make sure your student does a preliminary check to ensure they get their applications in on time. Remember that there are many types of scholarships available including need-based, merit-based, community service based, and combinations of all three. In addition to scholarships from the colleges, there are scholarships from parents’ workplaces, corporations (check out Target, Best Buy, etc.), non-profit organizations, and many others. All too often people miss out on these scholarships simply because they didn’t apply.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
