In case you are forgetting why, as a middle schooler, you are spending so much time researching and writing about college (which might seem so far away!), we wanted to remind you that it's for a great reason: to learn about the opportunities that lie ahead and have the opportunity to win a scholarship to kickstart your college fund! You're doing great, and we really want you to apply for the scholarship! Just by filling out the application you will learn a lot about yourself and about your future college search.
Our scholarship is not the only way to get help paying for college. There are many options to help pay for your college "tuition" (bill).
1. Local Scholarships: Your local community is there to support you in your efforts to pursue higher education! There are many scholarships offered in every community- it just takes a little research to find them! For example, for students that live in Rome, ME there is a scholarship fund that you can learn more about through the Messalonskee High School guidance office!
2. Federal Aid: Turns out not just your local community, but also the United States Government wants to help you fund your college education! Students fill out a free application to be considered for this funding.
3. Merit-based Scholarships: Do you volunteer a lot? Are you passionate about a particular hobby? Are you a standout athlete, musician, or artist? There are scholarship opportunities for all kinds of talents!
4. Corporations: Many large corporations award scholarships to college students. For example, Target gives 2,100 college scholarships every year, some of which are up to $10,000!
As you can see, there are many options to help you fund your college education! Start your college fund today by chipping away at your Future of Maine application! We can't wait to hear about your future plans for college!
