Hi! I'm a high school junior and I've heard that scholarships can be a great way to help pay for college. However, I also know that applying for them can be time-consuming. Is it really worth it to spend time applying for scholarships, or should I focus on other parts of the application process?
Hey there! It's great that you're thinking about ways to pay for college. As a parent who's gone through this process, I can share my experience with you. Yes, applying for scholarships can be time-consuming, but it's definitely worth giving it a shot. Many students end up getting at least some financial assistance through scholarships, and it can make a big difference in the overall cost of college. Plus, there are many scholarships available, ranging from small local ones to larger national ones, so you may have better chances than you think. It's important to balance your time and focus on all parts of the application process, but don't overlook scholarships. Set aside some time each week to search for and apply to scholarships, and you might be surprised by the results. Best of luck in your college journey!
