SCHOLARSHIP DIGEST 2020 ED 3
Scholarships aren’t just for whiz kids. They’re not just for athletic prodigies. And they’re also not just for the lucky few. The truth is: there are scholarships out there for everyone. While identifying the best ones and applying to them can take up a lot of time, the benefits can be big. Scholarships, unlike loans, don’t have to be paid back. So, while it may be a lot of work to apply, it’s definitely worth it if you win one.
This article will focus on highlighting some of the scholarships available whose application deadline is soon approaching.
