There is a lot of advice out there about how to get college scholarships. You have probably heard advice from your parents, teachers, and counselors. Your school might even have had a special show detailing the process. Most of the advice you have heard is probably along the lines of keep your grades high and participate in plenty of extracurricular activities. What they do not tell you how to do is play the odds. Hector Milla Editor of the "Free Scholarships And Grants" website -- http://www.FreeScholarshipsAndGrants.org/free-online-scholarships-money -- pointed out; Many students graduate from high school yearly. Although many of these students are not college bound, many of them are in your situation. They are looking for scholarships. You are competing against all these other students. No matter how good your grade point average or how flattering your recommendation letters, this is an intimidating prospect. You can increase your odds of getting scholarships by applying to scholarships for which few people qualify. If you are in drama, apply to as many drama scholarship programs as you can find. If you can find an even more specific scholarship for which you qualify, such as a scholarship for minorities in drama, apply for it. The fewer people that can qualify for a scholarship, the better your personal odds Of course, you should still apply to the large award, general scholarships. But do not make the mistake of making those your primary focus. You should also use a scholarship site to find as many niche scholarships as you can. These scholarship websites occasionally offer scholarships of their own. These generally have a very simple application process and no restrictions on how you spend your award if you win. You will be able to spend it on living expenses while you are away at school or even a new laptop. Getting scholarships will make your college experience more relaxing and enjoyable, because you will not be stressed about the amount of debt you have.
