So I wanted to sit down and talk to you about how I financed college and I hope that this video helps some of you out to figure out your options for financing college. Now, I understand that when it comes to grants it is based on your family income which is DIFFERENT for everyone, but this is how my situation worked and it may be similar to yours.

I take pride in honesty and I am a bio nerd so I need to see evidence if I am to believe anything. I hope this helps you guys out and thank you so much for watching!
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

- 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

10 Award Scholarships
It is challenging enough to try to plan for college education funding for children without major increases with each payment of fees. Many parents whose students are attending college now are not able to make a difference and, later, students are increasing their student loan balances. The Student Debt Project reported that the schools they surveyed, the average student debt loan for the class of 2010 was US $ 25,250 for those with debt; 98 with average debt reports colleges of more than $ 35,000. Seventy-three colleges said that more than 90% of the class of 2010 graduated with debt. There is another answer.
In today's economic climate, it is even more vital for students to apply for scholarships.The point is if a student has the ability, know-how and dedication to get the best grades and SAT scores and they are involved in leadership positions, student government and community service, they should fight for the large grants paying. Here are some scholarships for high dollar value. Some take financial need into account, but it's not all:
Bags Buick Achievers program - This $ 25,000 bag is among the largest amounts of tendering and has the added benefit of being renewable every year for four years (or five to five years engineering programs) causing the US value $ 100,000 or more. Buick (through the GM Foundation) is making a significant commitment to bags as they award $ 2,000 scholarships at once for an additional 1,000 students as well. The high school student is not interested in cars? They are looking for students who want to build, car design or tomorrow's market. Applicants must be interested in entering the automotive and related sectors so that they are looking for students who want to graduate in engineering, design, and business. Grades and financial need are the first cut, but look beyond that to community service and a whole host of other factors, including the student is female, minority, a member of the armed forces or a veteran or dependent one veteran.
Merit scholarships - There are many colleges that offer merit scholarships that are based on academic performance. According to US News and World Report, University Briar Cliff in Sioux City, Iowa pays the highest percentage of merit scholarships in the country, with 98% of students receiving help with non-need basis. Many on his list were private colleges paying merit scholarships of their skills, but there are public universities as well including the University of Nevada - Reno (which happens to be the alma mater of my grandfather), where 31% of students receive non-necessities based aid. In hundreds, Auburn University students apply for 6 elite scholarships ranging from $ 2,500 - $ 7,500 per year for four years.
Fellow Media program - rising junior full-time and older who are dedicated to pursuing a career in public policy advertising industry should consider the application of the Media Fellows Program. Through the Media Fellows Program, Washington Scholars Media Foundation awards $ 5,000 scholarships to five students who have an extraordinary achievement in their field and earn an average of at least 3.0.
Siemens Math, Science, and Technology Award Scholarships - to stimulate the growth of the best and brightest minds in mathematics, science, and technology, Siemens Corporation teamed up with the College Board and each year they hold regional science competitions for students high school. Regional winners are awarded $ 3,000 scholarships, but the national awards finalists range from a minimum of $ 10,000 to a maximum of $ 100,000 for the first place winner. Prestigious universities such as California Institute of Technology, Carnegie Mellon University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Texas at Austin, and the University of Notre Dame hosting regional competitions that give exposure to students campuses.
Scholars KFCs Colonel Program - KFC scholarship is for students with an entrepreneurial spirit who have a financial need and are applying for a public college or university. This prize is worth up to $ 5,000 per year for four years. Because Colonel Sanders believes in the work ethic, it was certainly necessary to establish the original KFC, and this award requires students to work on average 10 hours per week from the second year of funding.
Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation - This foundation offers 250 scholarships annually based achievement for students with a minimum GPA of 3.0 and who are thinking of attending a post-secondary accredited academic institution the USA. The top 50 are designated as national experts and will receive $ 20,000, remaining 200 are designated as Regional Scholars and receive awards of $ 10,000.
Davidson Institute for Talent Development - Only the extraordinary apply here. This scholarship is awarded to students 18 and under who have completed a significant part of the work is in mathematics, science, literature, music, technology, and philosophy. They also have an additional category which I'm sure Steve Jobs would have liked called "outside the box." The top prize is $ 50,000 followed by $ 25,000 and $ 10,000 awards at once for the top-notch students.
Bags Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society - Transfer students need funds too. Students who plan to transfer from community colleges to universities can find scholarships through this academic honor society using a standard application (available for members). There is a range of $ 1,000 prizes up to $ 7,500 Phi Theta Kappa bags partners, which include a broad variety of companies and foundations as GEICO, New Century, and Coca-Cola., Additional scholarship opportunities available to members Phi Theta Kappa range of up to US $ 30,000 per year.
Horatio Alger Fellowship Award - This scholarship honors the spirit of Horatio Alger, Jr., whose dime store young city life novels in poverty and excess overcoming adversity with uncommon courage and moral strength achieved great wealth and acclaim. This scholarship is awarded to students who have a financial need, they are high performance, and have overcome great adversity. The national winners of scholarships are awarded a $ 20,000 scholarship, and there are state grants to lower values.
Gallery Scholarship Collection - This $ 10,000 scholarship is awarded for the best talent. The competition is open to high school students as well as students currently enrolled in college who have a practical design touch. I say actual design because the donor is looking for original work, which can be used as a card (so it has to be attractive to its corporate clients and their customers.) This is one of those rare scholarships that students who are already in college can apply for. However, a student's average Texas education earned him the award in 2009 knocking out many college students.
Each and every one of these higher scholarships will be awarded to outstanding, hardworking, and well worth students. There is another option. However, that has not been mentioned - each of them has to turn in your application. No scholarships will be awarded to students who do not apply! Sometimes students feel they will not win the prize because there is such an impressive field of exceptional talent out there, then years later they realize these same amazing students were looking at them with the same thoughts. A message for the students, "Throw your hat in the ring."

Scholarship - Everything you need to know
Do you want a degree away for free? Not only in public universities you can go to law school for free, free free administration or medicine, for example. There are several resources you can use to achieve this dream.
The obvious way to get free college is, of course, pass the entrance exam at a public university. But it is practically unattainable to many, because the rich have more access to the best pre-college preparatory courses and usually occupy the majority of seats in public universities. Scholarships are the best way to get to college for free. There are many scholarship programs of the government that today only college who does not want to.
You also have the option of delivering short courses certificate in your home.
PROUNI
I know one person who, even with more than 35 years old, managed to make college free right thanks to a scholarship from the Prouni.
The Prouni is a federal government program that grants full or partial scholarships to low-income students in private institutions of higher education. The University for All Program offers grants of integral studies for students who have family income of up to 1.5 minimum wages. The program also provides partial scholarships for those who come from families earning up to three minimum wages.
Who selects students for the scholarships is the MEC for it using the note struck in Enem (National High School Exam). If there are remaining vacancies, their own colleges and universities can make the selection. It is estimated that by 2015 only Prouni have allowed the education of more than 10 million new workers with higher education by 2015.
FIES
Sergio, one of the employees here at HypeScience, managed to complete the course for free at PUC-SP administration through scholarship from the FIES.
Created in 1999, the Student Financing Program provides graduate studies scholarship in higher education of those students can not afford the costs of their education and are enrolled in private institutions register with the program and with positive evaluation processes in the MEC.
In 2005, the FIES began offering scholarships to students also approved Prouni and pay 50%.
Only in 2006 were almost 450 000 students who received such scholarships Prouni.
CNPq
Another way to get a scholarship is to work at the university in some way, for example, in a sector on campus. Working with scientific research can lead to the award of a scholarship offered by the CNPq for the development of science.
Another form of scholarship offered is the provision of student services for the University, how to work in a sector within the campus. Conduct the study for scientific research could also yield scholarships as offered by CNPq (National Council for Scientific and Technological Knowledge).
A scholarship from CAPES is also focused on scientific development, but is offered only to graduate students.
Scholarships in private universities
Say you have not achieved any of the things described above. Universities and colleges across the country offer scholarships to more than half of their students in the form of discounts to curb delinquency.
There are, in these companies, various types of discount in tuition: Purse-old bag-merit (good grades), scholarship for employees and partners, own finance, etc.
Already in enrollment institutions which evaluate the salary range of the student's family and direct you to the best scholarships for that case. They make any business to keep the student. Including good grades for college scholarships can yield.
Scholarships and Student Financing refundable
This is your last resort, but since so many people use it. Consist of a loan that can be done by a bank (see your manager) or by an educational institution. If the Scholarship is total or partial, it will depend on the criteria that the institution provides. In all cases, payment begins to be done a few years after the end of the course, month by month. In the case of scholarships offered by universities, these tend to be awarded to students with the best yield notes, presence, participation, etc.
In one of these criteria you will certainly fit. Otherwise that means is money left in your pocket and you can pay without blinking. How could you prove today in Brazil, only who does not want free college.

Guaranteed College Nursing Scholarship
If you're on your way to college, you might be confused with the many courses being offered. Choosing one can give you a headache, but if you already know what particular career you want to pursue after college, you will not have much difficulty.
Observe the trends in the job market. The medical field hires a lot of competent people every year, and the demand for medical professionals is still increasing at present. Even those who already have a career are looking for ways to join this particular field.
Nurses are badly needed. The demand for nursing graduates is growing. Health agencies and other services are looking for highly trained and qualified nurses. That is probably why many students are attracted to this field.
The primary problem that most students encounter before they go to college, especially with a nursing course, is funding. Though this field is very much in demand, not all aspiring nursing students are able to graduate because of financial problems.
Public colleges which offer nursing courses can cost you around $14,000 a year; and if you want to attend college in a private university, the cost can reach as high as $30,000 a year. And to think that the tuition fees increase every year. You can just imagine how much it's going to cost you if you want to graduate with a nursing degree.
Nursing is quite an expensive course, and if you don’t have the money, you can't possibly graduate. What a sad ending for an aspiring student, but don’t lose hope yet. There are still ways to pursue your college studies without anymore worrying for your expenses.
Education helps people learn about different things, but it doesn’t end there, it is also a business in itself. If you don’t have enough money, you can't get the best education possible. If you don’t have money, that is not a problem. If you want to finish a course in nursing, you must be aware that it entails a lot of coursework. So if you are a working student, you will surely have difficulty in keeping up with your job and the coursework. What you need is a college scholarship to fully concentrate in your education.
First and foremost, you must contact nursing associations in your locality, your state's nursing board, and the American Nurses Association (ANA). Check the website of ANA on the net because they can provide you with the necessary information you will need for a nursing scholarship and grants. All it takes is a little research.
Federal government funds certain nursing scholarships, as well as private entities. Schools, agencies, and corporations offer nursing scholarships for individual students.
You will need all indispensable information from certain people like the college of nursing department head. He/she can provide you with scholarship/grant applications. Or you can also contact the person in authority who provides scholarship/grants to nursing students.
You're quite lucky if you have parents who can fund your way to college, but if you're one of the less fortunate ones, you definitely need some form of assistance. Stand up and make a move, don’t just sit there and wait for someone to offer you a scholarship of some sort. Chances are it wouldn’t come looking for you.
If you are quite confident that you can maintain a scholarship, apply for one. It never hurts to try.
