Scholarship Tips
I'm one of the late students for looking at scholarships and right now I'm scrambling to catch up. So I just thought it would be nice to post some helpful things I've found out for others who are looking at Colleges/Universities.FASFA - if you've never heard this before you should defiantly look it up. It's the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. FASFA is a need based grant/scholarship that the government provides. You can fill out the app. online and from the form your EFC (Expected Family Contribution) is calculated. That is related to how much money you are eligible for. When I went to Cornish, they said the form takes the same information as taxes, so when your parents have their tax info out, just sit down with them and fill that baby out.FastWeb.com - Defiantly check this site out.
