College Scholarships for High School Seniors:Where to Find Them & How to Win

I have personally learned all of the tricks when it comes to finding scholarships for high school seniors. Many times it seems difficult to know where to look in your local community but it's not as difficult as people make out to be.

I learned that many of the places are rather easy to find and all around you. The first place to look in is the office at your high school. They should have a cabinet or scholarship applications you can get.

College scholarships for high school seniors are also among the scholarships that have fierce competition because everyone needs money for college. Focusing on a local scholarships is a good tactic that can help you pay off some of your college debt.

Plus, getting college scholarships for high school seniors is a great way to diversify funds for college among other things such as grants, loans, and work-study that is provided by both the federal and state governments.

Once you've won a few small scholarships, you will see that even small amounts of college money is always a good thing. You can pay for college textbooks with small scholarships.

Hopefully, once you have listened to all of my secrets on college scholarships for seniors, you can come back and leave a positive comment so that others can see that it does work.

My testimony starts with a scholarship that I won at a Electric Coop in my area. It was worth about $500 and attached to it was a 7 day trip to Washington D.C. And although I couldn't make it on the trip, it was good to know that if I didn't have any search strategy I would missed out on an extra $500.

That's why I constantly tell students to not give up and search until they have exhausted all known sources and resources. It's either that, or you will have to pay for college with loans.

If it's not on your priority list I would advise you to carefully consider applying for college scholarships for high school seniors.

This is my senior year advice video, which includes EVERYTHING you would ever want to know about applying to some top colleges! If you follow these tips for applying during your junior/senior year, you'll have a lot more ease applying!

Here are some notes I wrote while thinking up this video and thought I'd just include for you guys:

1. Start early, start now
First semester is going to be super busy with applying to college, keeping your GPA strong and applying to lots of scholarships. Start now and then you can relax later!

2. Pick a top 10 list of colleges you might apply for BASED off of:
Reach schools and safe schools BASED off of your GPA (predict for next year & SAT/ACT)
also: cost, location, academics, private/public school, quality of life, majors offered there, etc.
Make a list, you don't have to apply to all of them

Other helpful websites:
- collegeboard (official website, does the same thing as the book)
- collegeprowler (from students, can see how you stack up in admission)
- collegeconfidential (all your college-related questions answered. basically a google search for college questions)

3. Do a lot of research, really early and be ORGANIZED!
Use a calendar w/ dates of application deadlines & scholarships, etc.

(I was terrible at this and literally applied the day before to every school i applied for)

4. START NOW
Common app.org = an online website that a lot of colleges require to apply for their college
The essays are the same as last year and are up on their website now.
august 1 = date you can start filling things out

5. Essay
- Brainstorm a topic & then just word vomit
- Edit, edit, edit!
- Have a variety of people critique your essay, not just teachers

6. ACT/SATs
- Both tests are completely different
- Take a practice test for each one and see which one you do better on comparatively on a conversion chart
- Then start studying and focus on ONE
- The only way is to do practice tests (w/ tutor if you want)
- Sit down, take a timed practice test and then review the answer
- Lots and lots of different variables during testing/ mistimes, different spaces, etc. my scores changed a lot

7. scholarships
- LOCAL are the easiest to get
- Ask around, a lot of people offer scholarships
- Ask your counselor
