The prospect of paying for your college education is freaking you out, you're not alone! The thought of paying off consolidated student loans for years can feel pretty overwhelming, as is the process of filling out complicated financial aid forms. Free money is not going to fall from the sky to pay for your college education? Or is it?
No, don't stand with a bucket on your front porch waiting for the money to fall. But what you should do is spend some time looking for and applying to as many scholarships as you can. Scholarships are the easiest way to help students afford their education. There's billions of dollars out there from people who want to help students like you make their way through college. All you have to do is find those billions of dollars-- or at least your fair share of it.
So, how do you go about searching for scholarships? More than anything else, the trick is persistence. Devote some serious hours to the task of finding and applying for as many scholarships as you can. Resist the urge to be lazy. You'll get lots of rejections, and you'll just have to suck it up and keep trying. In the end, if you wind up with a few thousand dollars or more for college than what you started with, it will be worth it.
