Things to do in-between your scholarship applications

Tweet

I have to admit. I have good intentions, but still have not used this blog to fill out my OWN scholarships and blogs and register on all the sites I need to register on. 

I did plan it that way, and as a helpful addition to information for nontraditional students, but I'm you know how things can morph sometimes.

So... I am doing things in-between applications. Here are just a few you might like too.

#1. Organize your house. I like the FlyLady site for this. http://www.flylady.net/

#2. Write a novel in the month of November. Just go to the NaNoWriMo site to sign up.  http://www.nanowrimo.org/

#3. Start a blog about your educational grant and scholarship search. Then send me the link. I'll be happy to link to it. I use Blogger, but Wordpress is good too, among others.

All for now - so what neat things can YOU suggest in-between scholarship applications?

Let me know with a comment.

Scholarships for Writers

Tweet

And this is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg!

I was surprised to find so many scholarships that were available to students who write poetry, are journalists, and want to attend a conference.

It made me think that googling your state plus "writing conference scholarship" might yield great results. Plus, you would be able to attend that writing conference much easier, with less money needed.

Also, googling Writing Scholarships (plus your state) is also a great idea. Let me know if this works. I will be trying it for the Nontraditional student State Pages later on.

Here are some sites I discovered today. Some include poetry writers and journalists. I tried to steer clear of age requirements.
