How to win scholarships in June
Now that summer’s started, you’re going to have a lot of free time on your hands. One of the ways you can occupy yourself is by applying for scholarships. Even working a summer job can help improve your chances of winning a scholarship, especially if you outline your skills in your resume. If you choose to write an essay, make sure you take the reader on a journey that ends on a high note. Be sure to thank the scholarships committee when you win!

- If you are thinking about applying for need-based financial aid, you can use the Net Price Calculator to estimate your need-based financial package! We recommend that you do this for every college on your list!
