Playing the Odds with Scholarships
I would love to finance my #higher-education with more #scholarship money, especially given a cut in state funding for #financial-aid taking effect next year.

Or should I pursue fewer scholarships, but try to go for the ones that require an #essay ? Where will my time be best spent?

What should I be doing during my "waiting period"?
I sent in all of my college applications before the New Year, but don't hear back from them until late March, leaving me with approximately three months of crippling financial worries and general stress about acceptance. I've been spending my time applying to as many scholarships as possible, but have found little fruition in this since many organizations fail to alert students regarding their success or failure in the scholarship field. Meanwhile, I'm receiving emails from certain institutions about filing for financial aide--though I turned in the FAFSA in October. What more should I be doing? Do I need to submit supplementary information for financial aide? Are there deadlines that I should be paying attention to but, for whatever reason, I don't know exist? #financial-aid #scholarships #college-admissions

Growing up, I was the daughter of a single mother. Our financial situation could be classified as the grey area between poverty and lower middle class.
