Hi QueenBee23 - I am mom to quadruplets - they will be 18 next week and are going to 4 different colleges next month. Doing the FAFSA early is important for need based aid. My kids applied for numerous scholarships, they did get a few, but small $$ amounts. They applied to the ones offered at their high school and we found many on line to apply for. They were all honor students GPA’s above 3.0 which helped with merit aid. It was great that they sent in their applications early Nov/Dec so we got acceptances earlier - less stressful than waiting until later in th spring! Good luck to all of you!
