Scholarship Tigers–Students Helping Each Other Find Money for College

We will mention these scholarships as part of the workshop today. Part of what will guide our discussion is what students show up and their majors.

I have mentioned these two scholarships earlier, and their deadlines are Friday, March 15, 2019.

SKIP THE ADS! (Some of the ads are legitimate, but sadly I can’t vouch for them all. Avoid the single mom or single dad scholarships–I and a few other students have received calls, and some of the operators are not scrupulous, trying to pressure students in pursuing degrees at for-profit colleges and to take on heavy student loans.)
