Have you ever thought applying for scholarships is a waste of time? If you said yes, you are not alone. Countless students wander into my office making the grand statement, “Scholarships are a waste of my time.” Some students complain that they spent three hours last Sunday filling out several scholarship applications and… wait for it… hold on… “It was a waste of their time.”
Wrong! It was not a waste of their time. One of those scholarships may reward them $250. That does not sound like much now, but in college that is a fortune. Even sitting down for two hours every week to apply for scholarships can benefit your financial situation in the end. (There are 168 hours in one week. Obviously two hours is not that much time.)
Remember this: I cannot guarantee that you will receive a scholarship, but I can guarantee you will not receive one if you do not try. So, stop ‘wasting’ your time and fill out those scholarship applications!
Live long and prosper!Lauren Johnson
