Each year there are thousands of dollars that go unclaimed in scholarship money. The problem is, you have to work to find the money! And you need the time to research where that money is.

They are usually in smaller dollar amounts, a few thousand here and there. And, they are normally for specific types of people -- those studying a particular subject; those with a specific background; those with a particular ancestry.... It's *not* all based on financial need and grade point average.

Go to the library and ask how to research college loans. Do it as soon as you can, though, cuz I don't know when the deadlines are. It will take time, and it will take effort. And I know you must have finals coming up. So, focus on those first, but then, get your rear in gear, as they say, and get to work finding that unclaimed money! It's there!

Oh yea, also ask the college about work study. there's usually some jobs available in the book store; the cafeteria or the library. That can help too. We always have to sing for our supper, ya know?

Good luck to you!

Peace!
