Scholarship help...?

Question

I am going to college in the fall of '09 and I was wondering where I might get scholarships to help pay tuition.

I live in Maryland, near Baltimore if that helps. I have an average GPA and its because I had lower grades in freshmen year due to brain surgery, but now (as a junior) I have a high GPA of about 3.89 and a 94 average.

Any help would be appreciated. My family does not have much money to put towards college for me.

Answer 2

Study now, and do your best on the finals this year. They are a big part of what colleges look at when deciding to admit you.

Also, don't slack off as a senior. Take good solid academic classes, and do well on them. It WILL make a difference.

Fill out the FAFSA application early, and start talking with the financial aid office at the colleges you're interested in. Look around in your community for other sources. Your school guidance office should have a list of many scholarships.

Don't rule out student loans, either, but know which ones are good, and which to avoid. Perkins loans are very good; Stafford loans are next in line. Private loans can be very expensive and burdensome. You want loans that are subsidized, meaning that the interest on them is deferred until you leave school. On an unsubsidized loan, the interest accumulates from the day you sign. If you borrow $10,000 as a freshman, the interest may add up so that you owe $11-12,000 or more when you graduate.
