Facts:
- Many scholarships go unclaimed because not enough students apply for them. For the amount of money you may get, the work is definitely worth it. Useful guides that will help you with all of your scholarships applications are Stanford University’s Guide to Developing a Strong Scholarship Application and the MALDEF Scholarship Guide.
- Scholarships are grants (free money). Don’t think you are not qualified, not all scholarships are only for students with high GPA.
