    Fall 2023: Where to Find Additional Scholarships

    In today’s episode, I talk about additional scholarships for students continuing their time at USU. Paying for college can be expensive, but there are many resources available to help you fund your education. Please take advantage of these resources, as numerous funds go unclaimed every year! Of course, the resources talked about in this episode will yield unique results for each student. However, it is a great place to start when looking for continuing aid.
