We understand that upper middle class (UMC) parents and students search for non-need based scholarships and non-need based financial aid. It’s often a search that lasts all year long. Those who receive the most financial aid start the earliest. So it’s time to start your search for college scholarship money in January 2011.
White Picket College aids in your search. We have a whole section entitled Non-Need Based Scholarships. Simply click on the scholarship name in the pull down list and read about the requirements and deadlines. No scholarship is under $1000 in award money. To date, we have 30 scholarships listed and we’re working on more.
This is a great time to organize for the year and plan for deadlines. Some scholarships will take a large amount of time, while others only have a few requirements that can be done quickly. Either way, make sure to check out all the scholarship opportunities listed.
Keep in mind, if you win a few, smaller scholarships, that’s $3000. No, it won’t pay your tuition, but it is some extra money for spending, books, fees, etc. So make sure to submit applications to the scholarships you’re interested in. Take this process seriously and apply when possible.
Don’t forget to continue checking as we add more scholarships. Join us on Facebook or on Twitter @whitepicketcoll.
Best luck in your search for college scholarship money.
