While spring break should be a time for your college student to catch up on rest and relaxation, it’s also the perfect time to find and apply for scholarships to help fund their college education. Taking advantage of these spring scholarship opportunities will not only get your student’s scholarship search and application process started, but it will also leave time for enjoying spring break plans.
Here is a list of 25 spring semester scholarships. Some deadlines are as late as May 31st. Either way, these next few weeks are major scholarship 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 you can help your child avoid student loan debt.
