Scholarship Tigers–Students Helping Each Other Find Money for College

I have recently been updating handouts for a program the TSU Writing Center does in the summer, Summer Completion Academy.

There are several scholarship possibilities found within these PDFs, including how to find more of them.

Thank you to Ms. Lori Danley for putting the scholarships in a handy comprehensive format.

Also, I am including a scholarship I haven’t had a chance to put in the handouts.

Many people believe that you must have a high GPA to receive a lot of scholarships.

The truth is, you don’t. Many scholarships don’t require a GPA at all. They are more based on a skill you can show off, like drawing or writing or composing music or creating a video.

Felecia Hatcher, author of The C Students Guide to Scholarships, received over $130,000 in scholarships and grants in free money for college, mostly by pursuing these types of scholarships for creatives.

Here are three scholarships that require only writing an essay. Remember, if you are a TSU student/staff/faculty, you can receive help from the TSU Writing Center.

SKIP THE ADS! (Some of the ads are legitimate, but sadly I can’t vouch for all of them. 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.)
