Scholarship Starter Kit

By Frank @ Edutude

It’s back-to-school season, and for high school seniors, that means it’s time to start looking to the future. By getting a jump on scholarship and grant applications, they’ll be able to worry less about funding a college education and more about getting into their dream schools. At Edutude, we know that in the busy lives of teenagers, this type of less-than-thrilling research sometimes falls to the wayside, as it can be a daunting task. We wanted to lend a helping hand to ensure that every student has a fair shot at higher education, so we’ve put together a fantastic Scholarship Starter Kit for students.

• Horatio Alger Scholarship – This is a major national scholarship program that specifically assists high school students who have faced and overcome great obstacles in their young lives.
• Rosen Hagood Community Service Scholarship – This scholarship will award $1,000 to the student who best describes their experiences that demonstrate a commitment to community service as well as what role that commitment will play in their academic career.

Bonus points will be awarded to those students who find a creative way to include their passion for coffee within the essay without losing sight of the primary topic.

As you can see, a wide variety of scholarships are out there — it’s just a matter of starting the search! We hope our Scholarship Starter Kit has inspired you to apply to a scholarship of interest to you.

Best,
