Reduce College Debt with Scholarships
Six Scholarship judges were sitting around an oval table. Forms
were piled into 50 boxes. Each one had the name of a state. I
looked at the boxes and wondered why some of them were
overflowing and others had just a few. This was the first round
of judging. By the time the contest was over almost 16,000
applications would be examined. Some of the comments were really
critical, "Why did this person bother to send in an application?
It's so sloppy." "This person put the wrong address on the
envelope, even though the correct one is at the top of the
application." One had a cassette tape inside. We played it and
it was a country song. The applicant was a good musician.
That was twelve years ago, and many people still do not know or
realize that College Scholarship Planning could reduce or
totally eliminate college financial debt.
One of the first questions I am always asked is, "When should we
start looking?" Then some answer their own question with, "I'll
bet we're too late already huh?" The ideal time is to start is
the 8th grade to freshman year. Good planning starts early, but
scholarships are posted monthly, and if you start planning
early, you have a chance to win, big. Many win the very first
time. If you are a junior or senior in high school, go for
it.
But remember, your chances to win increase with every completed
application.
You should start College Scholarship Planning even if there is a
chance your child may decide not to go to college. But if the
decision is yes, you will have everything in place. And the
planning experience is more than filling out a few applications.
Another common concern is assuming your family income is too
high to win scholarships. Fact: 80% of all scholarships are need
based and income related, but 20% are not. This means millions
of dollars are still available. It makes good solid financial
sense to make an effort to win scholarship money regardless of
income.
Always remember: the college scholarship effort is truly a
family affair.
