I am so excited to report that I have been awarded 2,500 from Great Lakes Scholarship program. They are also excited to offer opportunities to pay for extra classes or extra curricular activities that I may want to do during my doctoral program.
A huge contributing factor to why I was even able to find this scholarship, was the website I used during my scholarship search. There were two websites that I used that I thank for any and all of the scholarship success that I have had. I used Zinch.com as well as Cappex.com. Because scholarships are so competitive and so hard to come by in this economy, websites such as the two listed above are crucial in finding scholarships.
Scholarship Tip #1
Zinch.com has opportunities for students to make money even if they are unable to win scholarships.
Double Your Money- Zinch.com will match the scholarship that you are awarded if they are able to make sure that their website is where you found the scholarship. (I am currently waiting to hear if I qualify)
Money For Scholarship Referrals- If you are able to find scholarships that Zinch.com does not list on their site, they will give you a small check for every scholarship they use.
It's websites such as these that make it possible for ever type of student to have the chance to find some financial assistance.
Scholarship Tip #2
All scholarship websites including the main two that I have used encourage the creation and upkeep of your profile. Profiles list who you are, what your academic history is like, what extra curricular activities you participate in, the programs you are looking for, and anything else you'd like to list. These are very important because they can help you find as many scholarships and contests as possible. The more detail the better!
Don't Give Up! Scholarships are everywhere. It is all about the time you put into scholarship applications.
