Hi Erica. If you want to make college more affordable, the best thing you can do is to apply for as many scholarships as possible. Don't just look at big national ones as these have a lot of competition. Smaller and local scholarships are often easier to win because fewer people apply. You can check for scholarships from community groups, businesses, foundations, etc in your town or state. Because you want to study Communication Sciences and Disorders and eventually audiology, you can look for scholarships related to healthcare, speech and hearing sciences, and STEM fields.

To improve your chances, you need to make your applications strong, write clear, honest essays that explain your goals and why you want to become an audiologist. You can also talk about your volunteer work, school activities, leadership roles, and anything related to communication disorders.

Moreover, you can ask teachers or mentors for recommendation letters, and give them time to write them. Try to keep your grades up, because many scholarships look at academics. A strong application shows you are serious and hardworking.

Also, remember to use the resources available to you. Your high school counselor can help you find local scholarships and explain financial aid. When you get to college, you may visit the scholarship or financial aid office regularly. Colleges often offer new scholarships each year, not just when you first enroll. Good luck.
