April checklist for students

High school seniors

  • High school seniors will be making their college decision this month. While going by your “gut” can be useful, you should be focusing on the data too.
  • Some students don’t know that it is possible to appeal for more financial aid! This can potentially help you decrease the cost of attendance (and the amount of student loans that you need to take out).
  • Speaking of student loans, if you are considering taking out private student loans (which should only be taken out after your other financial aid, including federal loans are exhausted), you should use a student loan marketplace to shop around.

High school juniors

How to win April scholarships

While you’re enjoying the spring weather, take some time to start applying for scholarships. April is a great time to get started because you can make the most out of your spring break. Even though you might be focused on relaxing, a 250 word essay or even a 500 word essay won’t take as long as you might think. Be sure to write about yourself and the experiences that make you an ideal and unique scholarship candidate. 

Frequently asked questions

Is April too late to apply for scholarships?
