Get ready for summer.... when you can search for scholarships!

More great information from the Financial Aid News site

I ran across a great article today from the Financial Aid News site. The article is called Using Your Summer Break to Search for Scholarships.

This is a great idea. The author gives three main points: 1. Set aside some time every day [for researching and applications], 2. Submit only high-quality applications [be confident about how well you have done each application], and 3. Use your community resources [and make local connections].

Find out more by checking out this article:

The Financial Aid News has a monthly newsletter here: http://www.studentloannetwork.com/newsletter/ that is free. All you need to do is sign up.

A backlog of podcasts by Christopher S. Penn are available here:
http://www.financialaidnews.com/category/podcast/

He left the site in January (I just found out) but has done many financial aid podcasts that are very helpful.

The introduction video to the site is here:
