Every Wednesday in February I’m going to send you several great scholarships you can apply for! This is the time of year when scholarship deadlines are coming to a close and making their last awards for enrollment in the fall.
Reminder: Even when you earn a lot of college credit in high school, your teen is still a “first-time freshman” when they apply for college admissions and financial aid.
Special thanks to Jessica at JLVCC blog!!
