Mo' Money Mo' Money Mo' Money for College


Okay, I might be dating myself with the reference of Mo' Money but it is still a great idea to roll up your sleeves and look for more Scholarships. Seek the "low hanging fruit." Start with the website of your institution of choice and the State of your residence. For Maryland, click here. The United States Department of Labor offers this website to assist you in locating scholarships, jobs and more click here. depending on the State you may want to try "No affiliation or other" under "Affiliation Restrictions." Like many endeavors, when you break your time down in small bites, you can accomplish a great deal. One strategy to help yourself get started is to schedule 15-20 minute increments as often per day or per week as you'd like, depending upon your level of motivation to work on finding MONEY TO PAY FOR COLLEGE.
Sometimes you will get in a zone and extend your time, applying for many scholarships. On other times you may just meet your minimum. Another strategy is to team up with a friend or two just to get started. Check with your place of worship, banking institution, place of employment, including your parent(s') and relatives' place of employment, too to see if anything may be available. Approach this seriously to get serious results. You can do this. Start now and keep going. It is worth it. Clifton McKnight is an author, educator, counselor, personal coach and keynote speaker.
