Let’s face it, college is expensive. While there are always loans available, the less you borrow means the less you will have to pay back upon graduation. And let’s face it, no one want to have huge bills looming over them while they are trying to find a job! Scholarships are another route to go when financing your higher education and they are available to people from all walks of life, not just the uber-brilliant with perfect SAT scores and a 4.0+ high school grade point average. To land these “free” monies, however, it is imperative that you represent yourself accurately and intelligently on the application.
