Funding for my future education

In order to pay for college I found some scholarships that I hope I will get to help me out. The sources that I used to look for these scholarships came from many different sites. THis project has not only made me look for scholarships, its encouraged me to keep looking for and possible way to earn money for college. My plan is to continue to look for more scholarships the rest of the year. The method I am using is to apply for as many scholarships I can up until graduation. My goal is to at least earn a minimum of 10,000 dollars for college. I would love to earn more then 10,000 dollars, so that is why I am going to keep applying to many throughout the year.

The websites that I used for this project were collegeboard.com,zinch.com, and scholarships.com. Each site had tons of scholarships that I could choose from. I applied for about eight scholarships so far. Two of the eight scholarships required me to write an essay. One of the scholarships was strictly for students who were planning on going into a nursing program in college. The nursing scholarship said it would give 1000 dollars if I got picked for it. I am hoping that out of all the scholarships I applied for, that I will at least get one. The scholarships ranged from about 1000 dollars up to 20,000 dollars.

My method to earning money for college is to apply for one scholarship each week. I am also planning on saving any money I get or earn towards college. It may not be a lot of money by the end of the year, but every dollar counts. Another part to my method is to continue to look for more scholarships, that I will be more likely to win. I know that the Blood Drive gives away scholarships each year to students, and this is something I am going to look into. During the beginning stages of looking for scholarships, I plan on applying for any type of scholarship and as the year goes on I plan on narrowing it down and looking for specific scholarships. I am going to look more into my options when it comes to scholarships and I am hoping by the end to have some money for college.
