Students in need of financial assistance can apply for this scholarship

You need to act fast if you want to win this $5,000 scholarships, as only the first 500 applications will be considered

 

Many students start their scholarship search around the time they finish their college education online or offline applications, but experts encourage younger students and their families to think about starting the process earlier.

Why is that? You see, it’s much easier to choose among colleges you know you will be able to afford than to have to opt for backup schools because you find out too late that your number one choice is financially out of reach.

Some traditional or distance learning education students have started their scholarship search since junior high. Once you begin your quest for funding, you need to be aware that scholarships might affect other aid you may be receiving. However, some aid, like the income-based federal Pell grants, aren’t affected by other sources of funding.

But some college education online or traditional institutions will first reduce the loans they offer you based on the amount of outside scholarships, then cut grants only if the outside scholarship exceeds the loans.

However, if you decide to get all your college money through scholarships, note that the majority of bursary providers don’t have a problem with you merging two or more scholarships.

On top of starting their scholarship search early, students should also consider ways of lowering tuition costs. In general, students can lower their tuition by choosing to attend college in-state, finding where the tuition is lowest based on their major or pursuing a degree that offers extra scholarships or grants (like STEM for example).

Most of the times, the cheapest alternative is pursuing distance learning education, but there are exceptions to this rule, so you need to be quite attentive and read all the information regarding a certain degree before getting excited about it and jumping on board with it.

To give you an example of a scholarship opportunity for which you need to send in the application as soon as possible, here’s the SixtScholars Program.

The rent-a-car service is offering a scholarship program for students who are currently in high school seniors but are planning to pursue higher education.

In order to apply for this $5,000 award, students have to demonstrate a minimum GPA of 3.7, which means that only those with a spotless academic record are invited to apply for this one.

But students need to react fast, as only the first 500 submitted applications will be taken into consideration. The deadline for this year is November 30, 2017.

The application needs to include a current, complete transcript of grades, as well as a complete Applicant Appraisal Form. A copy of the first two pages of the most recent IRS Form 1040 should also be included.
