Scholarship Tigers–Students Helping Each Other Find Money for College

We are having another Tiger Scholars Session on Wed, March 31, 2010, at 10:30 am—11:15 am in the Computer Lab, found in the Learning Resource Center (LRC) 123B.

We will briefly discuss how developing the brand, You, can help you find scholarships in this Facebook, Twitter, and blogging world.  Also, I’ll reveal a secret of how you can spend 90-180 hours effortlessly searching for money to pay for college debt-free.

We will then open the session and start looking for scholarships for each person attending, according to his or her major.

If you can’t make these tiger scholar sessions, you can arrange another time with Mr. Turner by emailing him at mjturner@tnstate.edu
