Over $40,000 in Scholarships: Use May and the Rest of the Summer to Apply for Scholarships

Now that the semester is over, take a few moments to take a breath and relax.

Once you have taken a day or two to relax, don’t forget that the services of the AARC’s Writing Center at TSU is available to all students, faculty, staff, and alumni, and you can see us about your writing needs (such as resumes, applications to internships or graduate school, and scholarship essays) during May and the rest of the summer. We can meet with you online or in person.

I will tell you how to contact us after I give you some scholarships in the mix.

In May, I may post smaller posts to alert you to scholarships quickly.
