Fall is one of the busiest times of the year for students. After all, fall is the season when school starts which means classes, homework, sports, and other activities. For students who are high school seniors, the fall also means that college admissions and scholarship deadlines are just around the corner.
For all students, fall is a great opportunity to get into the habit of applying for scholarships. Every single dollar that you earn through scholarships is a dollar that you don’t have to pay in tuition, room, or board. This can lead to big savings if you were planning on taking out student loans (because it means that you eliminate your debt and student loan interest).
