Scholarship – What is the right time to start searching

Scholarship – Start Searching There are plenty of reasons to encourage a teenager to take a summer job. It builds responsibility, provides a glimpse into the work world, develops credentials for the next job and, of course, produces some spending money.

But if you are after serious money for college, there may be a better way.

During the summer, parents can put their high school students to work searching for scholarships and writing applications. If a child will be a sophomore or junior in the fall, the timing is ideal.

Some of the sweetest scholarships—ones that pay $5,000 or even $25,000—are awarded early in the high school years. But families often miss them because parents aren’t thinking about college when their children haven’t even passed driver’s training. Others assume erroneously that it’s futile to seek a scholarship if a child isn’t an A student or a star athlete.

Scholarships
are geared for everyone from community do-gooders to inventors, golf caddies and bowlers. Some are designed specifically for members of racial minorities or particular religions, and others for people with learning or physical disabilities. According to FinAid.com, there’s even a $1,000 scholarship for a left-handed student who will attend Juniata College in Huntingdon, Pa.

Parents tend to start searching frantically for money when children begin applying for college in their senior year of high school. Many don’t realize that tuition, room and board at a public university can run about $20,000 a year. Private schools, without the help of grants and scholarships, can be $45,000.

The trouble is that the parents’ panic over money hits at the worst time. Then, students are overloaded—trying to score well on SAT and ACT college entrance exams and writing essays for college applications while keeping their grades as high as possible.

At such a time, students can throw their hat into the ring for one of the few scholarships with no requirements other than entering a lottery. But in those contests, the numbers are against you. Any high school student who can click a mouse can enter. Read More

Tips on Selecting a Good College

It is every student’s dream to graduate out of the best college available. Many reach their goals while some, despite working hard, aren’t able to make it. Then the dejected students look out for other colleges. They consider every other college as just another run of the mill, out of which if they pass out, nobody is going to acknowledge them. This is a false belief. There are many colleges worth the respect and honor that IITs and IIMs get; you just have to widen your horizons. After all it is the students that make the college.

While selecting a college there are a few things that you have to be careful about. Before short listing a college, you need to make sure that it has the AICTE APPROVAL or the UGC grant in case of a university. If you graduate out of a non accredited institute you will not be considered for registration as a professional and you won’t qualify for any scholarship or education loan either. Lists of colleges and their curricula, including accreditation information, are available at school and public libraries.

Other important areas to look out for are the infrastructure, the faculty, living areas (if you plan to stay in the hostel), placement records and job assistance offered by the institute. Visit the college official website and get the required information. You can then confirm it from a student presently studying there or even from alumni. You could find where the alumni are currently placed. The best way to get the right information is the students of the college. They will guide you in the right way because once bitten, twice shy.

If possible you should go for a campus tour to the college. Nowadays, many colleges offer this facility (provided you register well before hand). When you personally visit the college it becomes easier for you to take the decision.

The decision should be made after careful investigation of all opportunities available, and consultation with persons familiar with the college. Catalogues outlining courses of study and entrance requirements should be requested from the colleges you are considering attending. Join a college only when you’re sure that it’s going to be the best for you and your career. Don’t lose out on good colleges just because of the heavy tuition fees. If you search well you will definitely bag a scholarship, and if that doesn’t work you always have the option of education loans. Remember that money may be an issue but quality education is important.
