How many scholarships is enough?
It's the summer before senior year and I don't know how many scholarships I should be applying for. Do I stop at a certain amount? Do I keep going if the award is too small? Or do I keep going to see if I can accomplish paying for my first year of university? I don't know and the worst part is I have to wait to find out but what if I don't get enough to provide for the first year. Then my educational goals will be crushed.

Hey, I am also a rising senior applying for scholarships! The advice I have gotten from people is to keep applying for scholarships, there is no such thing as applying to certain amounts of scholarships. Try to apply to a variety of different scholarships such as smaller scholarships (low award amount), full-ride scholarships, no-essay scholarships, and local scholarships. This would give you more of a chance of winning one. Also, try to set aside time each week to apply to at least 3 scholarships! Hope this helps!
My reccomendation is to Apply to every scholarship you can find that you are eligible for.
Your chance of acceptance
Your chancing factors

This truly depends on how much your college costs. I would recommend seeing how much you make in a year and comparing it to the cost of a year of the college. You should aim for at least 2-4 that you are guaranteed.
