Scholarships
You don't have to be a "scholar" or genius to obtain or win scholarships like you might think! There is literally a scholarship for everything and everyone. Some scholarships might ask you to submit a picture for a photography contest, write a poem about a hardship you've experienced in your life, or have you write an essay entirely in Klingon (a language native to the science fiction epic, Battlestar Gallactica).
The most important thing is to find a scholarship that entails a particular hobby, interest or passion you might have outside the classroom! Once you find a Scholarship that peaks your interest, the rest is easy. If you put in the effort to make a distinctive submission, and have a little bit of luck on your side, you'll be on your way to earning extra money for your college education.
