The end of the summer is nearing, and it’s back to school time! With school back in session, managing time can be tricky. Still, now is the time for your student to get back into a routine and begin preparing for important deadlines.
While we certainly believe students should take this time to resume sports and catch up with old friends they’ve missed during summer break, we also know it’s a great time for undergraduate students to knock out some applications for scholarships. Scholarships are crucial in offsetting the high cost of college education. Financial aid can also help cover various educational expenses such as tuition, books, and supplies.
Here is a list of 23 scholarships to apply for this fall. Some deadlines are as late as early December. Either way, these next few weeks are major deadline weeks, so you don’t want to miss out!
If you are curious about how we found these, check out our free training on uncovering legitimate scholarships, “6 Steps to Quickly Secure Scholarships for College.” This training is geared toward teaching parents what they need to know about paying for college so that they can help their student avoid student loan debt.
