How do I apply for scholarships?

I am going into my junior year of high school and I need to start preparing for college very soon. My family isn't well off and so I will definitely have to take out student loans in order to pay off my college debt. I am not too familiar with how scholarships work. My brother is 4 years older than me, but never applied for any scholarships to lower his tuition. I know there are scholarships for almost everything and anything, so if any of you can help me out or link me to any of these scholarships, I will be delighted! If you need to know anything about who I am or what kind of person I am for certain types of scholarships, let me know! #college #student #scholarships #financial-services #scholarship #tuition

I've always been told investing is risky. How do I lower financial risk while still investing in the stock market?

I want to start investing while I'm still in school, but I don't know how safe it is to do so. I know I can't eliminate risk entirely, but how can I better ensure success? I want to get some experience with investing so I can have that when I start trying to get a job someday. That's why I want to get started now. #finance #financial-services #investment-management #investing #stock-market
