- Unleash your inner Picasso (or Marie Curie): Do you have a unique talent? Amazing artistic skills? Built a robot that can walk your dog? Shine that light! Colleges love a well-rounded applicant with a passion that goes beyond textbooks.
Step3: Befriend the Financial Aid Office (They're Cooler Than You Think)
QuickTip: Stop scrolling if you find value.
- Fill out every form, twice: This isn't rocket science, but you'd be surprised how many people miss out on scholarships because of a missed deadline or a forgotten question. Be meticulous, be thorough, be the Michaelangelo of completing financial aid applications.
- Free Money Fridays (or Thursdays, Depending on the Office Hours): Don't be shy! The financial aid office is there to help you. Schedule appointments, ask questions, and express your financial need. Remember, they're the gatekeepers to the scholarship treasure trove.
