What is a Scholarship?
True: A check for college that you don’t have to pay back!
True: A Reward for Excellence!
True: A Scholarship Committee Investing in your Future!
False: To submit an application you must pay.
False: You should be extremely discouraged if you don’t receive
every scholarship you apply for.
False: You should lie to fit the criteria because you will have a
better chance at receiving it.
Fresh, better than frozen!
2 year tuition freeze in MnSCU
Don’t freeze your chances at a scholarship too!
Keep your scholarship application skills fresh and apply, apply, apply!
Scholarships are more than good, they’re great!
About 20 million Americans attend college each year
Close to 12 million borrow money to help pay
The average student loan debt for the class of 2011 was $26,600
Make your number smaller than $26,600 with scholarships!!!
Found in the Project on Student Debt and the Chronicle of Higher Education
You don’t need a 4.0 to get a scholarship!
Scholarships are based off of all these factors about you:
Activities/ Clubs you are involved in on your campus and community
Occupation you would like to enter
Subject areas you excel at/favorites
Honors/Awards/Special Recognitions
Cumulative GPA
Your positive qualities and strengths
People who could write letters of recommendation
People who could proof your application
