By planning ahead and applying to many scholarships online, or just by visiting your school counselor and picking up scholarship applications, you will have more of a opportunity for grant money and scholarships. Keep in mind that colleges that accept you send you a financial package that includes their own scholarships, too. I am a senior at St. John Fisher College and received a Cardinal Scholarship of $10,000 that is specific to my school. Ask on college tours about scholarships offered.
