Scholarships-
Big Futures Scholarship Opportunities: Big Futures works through college board and gives students scholarship opportunities just by completing the steps necessary to apply for college.
For example, compiling a college list, practicing the SAT, exploring scholarships, completing the FAFSA, etc. all give students additional entries to win scholarship money. We had a young lady get a $10,000 scholarship last year. Please take the opportunity to look into this.
