I am the first member of my family who plans to attend college on campus, so my mom and aunt (who both completed college online) don't know much about scholarships I should look for. I also have no clue where to look or how to apply or what happens after that. Any one have any help?
Welcome to collegevine!
Hope Scholarship is about 2-3 grand every year if you maintain a 3.0 or higher and looking in state or at neighboring states will also reduce prices within state reciprocity. Most schools also offer FAFSA which is Short for financial Aid. When applying it will ask, "would you like to be applied for financial aid", or "have you applied for FAFSA?" Doing this is essentially free money if you are a good fit for the school in any way if accepted.
Let me know if you have any further questions! Hope this helps!
CollegeVine has a treasure trove of articles listing scholarship opportunities and application tips. Hope this helps!
