Scholarships

There are many ways to pay for college:
1) Get a job!
2) Encourage your parents to start investing in a 529 when you are a baby [might be too late!]
3) Take out lots of loans [bad option!]
4) Apply for lots of scholarships [fantastic option!]

The best formula for getting scholarships is: lots of volunteering/serving in your community [most important] + extracurricular activities + grades as a 9-12th grader. During your Junior (and especially) Senior year, consider spending 1-5 hours/week on applying for scholarships.
