Tip:  College students should apply for private scholarship money

Often they’re two hundred fifty, five hundred dollar increments, but a lot of students never even apply ... .

It’s worth writing an essay or two and sending them out and seeing what kind of help you might get from private scholarships ... .

The good Websites; FastWeb.com is one that has free access to scholarships and lets you search by characteristics, so that’s one good place to go find private scholarships.
