College Scholarships with September deadlines
The question I get asked the most often-
Q: When should I begin applying for scholarships?
A: I started as a freshman and had a huge advantage over my peers because I already had all the materials I needed (like letters of recommendation, transcripts, essays, resumes) and I created a list of scholarships that I knew I didn’t want to miss.I’m convinced my early start played an integral part in my major scholarship wins, accumulating more than $900,000 in scholarships for my own college education.
Are you ready to figure out how to find and win scholarships?
I have created a 5 day scholarship accelerator that will break up the scholarship process into 5 easy parts:
- Resume
- Transcripts
- Letters of recommendation
- Where to find scholarships?
- Application & essay
When you find a scholarship that you want to apply for and meet all the criteria for, and then find out you need to submit a resume, ask for letters of recommendation, and get a copy of your transcript, the chances of you actually applying significantly decreases, am I right?
The 5 Day Scholarship Accelerator aids students in getting all the necessary materials you need up front, so applying is nothing more than copying, pasting, and adding the necessary attachments.
