Welcome

I'm not an expert in any area, but I can share what has worked for me and my crew. On this blog, you'll find sanity and money saving tips for moms and families on the go.

Scholarship Search

It's scholarship application time!!!!! All high school and current college students should continuously search and apply for scholarships. Here are 2 sites that can help with the scholarship search:



Both of these sites lists hundreds of scholarships.  Set time aside each day to research and apply for as many scholarships as you can. Basic information needed on most scholarship applications include most recent GPA, financial information of parent/guardian, and ACT/SAT scores. Many scholarships will also require an essay and/or recommendation letters. Check with your high school guidance counselor for recommendation letters, if needed. Also seek information/recommendations for local alumni of the college(s) you are interested in attending. 

I find it helpful to keep a chart of scholarships I qualify for, needed information, and the deadline to apply.  As you apply for the scholarships, write the application date down.  You may also find it helpful to have an email address dedicated solely to scholarship/academic information.

Also, EVERYONE needs to fill out FAFSA information at https://fafsa.ed.gov/FAFSA/app/fafsa?locale=en_US. Not all scholarships are need based and more higher income families are qualifying for some type of financial aid.

GOOD LUCK in your search!
