We've all heard it: There are millions of dollars of unclaimed scholarships each year. Possibly, but the truth is these scholarships go unclaimed because nobody can claim them. Many scholarships are too specific- only for the 4th son of a graduate of some no-name college or for a red-headed woman over 6 feet tall who plans a career in microbiology- you get the idea... often no one meets the criteria so the scholarship goes unclaimed.
My advice is to forget about it. Don't waste time chasing fools gold. There are many ways to find legitimate scholarship opportunities if you focus on the real main sources of scholarship money.
I cant find links to any actual scholarships?
ReplyDeletePlease check my post titled "Tips for Finding Scholarships" for advice on how to find the best sources of scholarships. The big problem with scholarships is that it is hard to find ones that make sense to waste your time applying to. Don't do those web-based searches- you'll get overwhelmed with pages and pages of unrealistic scholarship options. Thanks for your comment. You are my very first comment!
