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 to knock out some applications for scholarships.
Here is a list of 23 scholarships to apply for this fall. Some deadlines are as late as November 30th. Either way, these next few weeks are major deadline weeks so you don’t want to miss out!
And if you are curious as to how we found these, check out our free training on how to uncover legitimate scholarships, “6 Steps to Quickly Secure Scholarships for College.” This training is geared towards teaching parents what they need to know about paying for college so that you can help your child avoid student loan debt.
