Education expenses are very high today which will continue to increase. Students and parents both have to think about paying the college fees.
Even if you do have a college fund it is still not enough to pay for the expenses. That should not be a reason for any student not to go to college. There are student loans which anyone can get and you don't need to pay it back until you graduate. So many students opt for student loans to pay for college.
But, after certain period, you will need to pay back the student loan along with the interest to be paid on it. If you do not want to return any money, then apply for scholarships, which you do not have to pay back to anyone. It's free!
There are many different scholarships awarded to deserving and needy students.
Various scholarships offer different amount to the student starting from $500 to your complete tuition fees. If you have a notion that scholarships are awarded to good sportsman or brilliant students, then you are wrong. Scholarships are not only offered to aspiring rocket scientist or a high school star football or basket ball player.
Various other scholarships are offered to other students. Because the students are not aware of the presence of scholarships or because they think better students than them are available for the scholarships, they do not apply for such scholarships. Due to lack of applications from students, many scholarships offering thousands of dollars are wasted every year.
You do not need an excellent GPA to get a scholarship. Different scholarships such as minority scholarships, scholarships for women, scholarships for students are available for students willing to try for different careers. Fields like nursing, mathematics etc. attracts very few students and so organizations, universities, corporations and governments try to attract students by offering various scholarships.
The only way you can get scholarships is by applying. If you apply then you may or may not get it. But if you don't apply you will surely not get it. There is a famous quote 'try try till you succeed. So apply for all the scholarships you qualify. It does not matter even if the brightest student from your class applies for it too!
