How Many Scholarships?
How many college scholarships should you apply for? 8,000! ... OK, maybe not that many. But the more you apply for, the more chance you have of receiving one. Some statistics show that students receive one scholarship for every ten applied for. That figure might be a little optimistic. In the real world, it's probably closer to one in every twenty. That may sound discouraging, but don't lose hope. With determination, good organization, and plenty of time you can find and apply for the right scholarships. It just takes stepping up to the plate and getting to work. No matter how many strike outs you get, one home run will make up for it.
College Scholarship Apps due in June
As promised, here are two college scholarship applications that are due in June.
Abbot and Fenner Scholarship - due June 18, 2011 (essay)
BigSun Scholarship - due June 23, 2011 (for athletes)
Also, I thought I'd throw in a scholarship due in October.
AES Engineering Solutions - due October 7, 2011

The Graduate's Survival Guide
Link to The Graduate’s Survival Guide
This brand new resource for high school seniors isn’t just a book, it’s a book and DVD set. The author, Rachel Cruze, just graduated from college and has lots of advice to give. On the DVD, she and a few friends not only talk about the college experience but also discuss college finances. Money decisions during college can affect the next 20 to 30 years of your life. The Graduate’s Survival Guide is a great buy and worth the $20 for the advice you will learn.

Student Loans and Debt
As this website grows we hope you learn a lot from the resources we offer. As brothers and sisters in Christ, we don't want you to have to pile on tons of debt to get your bachelor's degree (the 4 year degree most college students receive). These days people think that signing a student loan for college is normal and that you can't go to college and get a quality education without going into debt. This website is here to show you there are other ways.

Christian College Scholarships is here!
Going to a Christian college or university? Maybe you haven’t even decided which Christian college you'll be attending. This website isn’t about choosing the right university, but about helping you find financial aid to help you pay for a quality education. With so much information out there, you can get lost or discouraged or even decide to give up --especially since there isn't much to guide you specifically about scholarships accepted at Christian colleges. So we're here to help fill in the gap.
