Neither is college. Not even close. But you can get scholarships! Hooray! Free money! NOT.
It seems like the smallest scholarships (you know, the ones normal people actually get) take the longest time while the ones that are like $200,000 for one person are where you put your name and what classes you took. How frustrating!
But I guess that maybe it'll payoff.
Maybe.
That's because with the big ones, they basically pull names out of hats. With the small ones, they actually look at the few people they select. Seems kinda backward...
ReplyDeleteAs much as applying for scholarships sucks, it's worth it. Even though the scholarship you get may only be a few hundred bucks (which is about one textbook), it's a few hundred dollars of YOUR money that you don't have to spend on school. And I could think of a few things to spend a few hundred bucks on.
