- How To
You are just going to be floored by the story of my cousin today! I know I’ve said that for many other guests, but literally I’ve known this guy my whole life, and I didn’t even know how deep or impactful or UNCONVENTIONAL his story went! It is definitely a testament to how God really provided.
$55,000 in scholarships took him not only through college tuition, but paid for his books, fees, gas, food, etc. that he didn’t even have to work while in school! The clincher? He did this with 4 recycled essays. WHAT.
Yes, you can reuse scholarship essays you’ve written. Learn more about that, and his other tips and tricks, in this iconic episode!
LET’S GOOOOOOO!!
Grab your cold brew and TI-89, because class is now in session.
1. Reuse your essays, but make them personalized in the intro and conclusion.
2. Prep for scholarship interviews like job interviews. Prep with a family or friend.
3. Ask about who the scholarship is in memory of and use a personal touch.
4. Look at school, honor’s college, major department, and minor department’s scholarship applications. Be politely pushy and inquire.
5. Look at your emails from your schools to find scholarships with deadlines out of the normal deadlines!
6. Check out your parents’ work and/or unions for potential scholarships.
7. Keep reapplying for scholarships each year.
8. Apply for local scholarships.
9. The FAFSA is required to be filled out, even if you won’t qualify for aid.
10. Think about applying for scholarships like you’re paying yourself/working for yourself. Take those 2 hours to potentially earn $1000 (just as an example)!
11. Let your passion for your upcoming career come through! Check out the book ”What Color is Your Parachute” if you’re not sure what your passion is.
