How to be Scholarship Savvy

Scholarship Savvy Tips
Benjamin Franklin once said, “For every minute spent organizing, an hour is earned.” When it comes to scholarship applications, staying organized will definitely save you time, but it can also earn you money! Remember that scholarships are not just for high school seniors or current college students. Some scholarships are offered to students as young as elementary school (like the UESP Make Your Mark Bookmark Contest). No matter what grade you’re in, here are a few tips to help you organize your scholarship workflow throughout the school year.
