Be Resourceful Tap into Scholarships and More

If you are motivated to continue your education, then finding ways to help pay for college may be of interest. Even if you are in the first in your family to attend college, or, if your family income makes college seem out of reach, there are resources for college that you can explore. Often it depends on how badly you want it. It is very much worth the effort to take advantage of technology and search, apply, search and apply some more. Start with an attitude of "I can!" Whether you are in college, in high school or transferring to another institution, there just may be resources for you if you are welling to find them. To get you started, here are a few resources made known to me by a good friend and retired professional in a recent communication (Thank you Keno). The Network Journal list Scholarships for all students and some specifically for African American students. (Click here). See list. Many institutions offer resource lists. Montgomery College, Maryland, offers a variety of possibilities. The Society for Hispanic Engineers Foundation compiled a list as well (Click Here). Also be sure to note the scholar internships on their site. To do a general search try scholarsite.com . Many resources are FREE. All you need invest is your time and effort. So, "How bad do you want it?" - Clifton McKnight is an author, educator, counselor, personal coach and keynote speaker. Follow him on Facebook, Twitter and other (social)media.
