Week 3: Scholarships
In our first email, we introduced the piecemeal approach to paying for college. Last week we talked about summer earnings as one of those “pieces” and shared tips to make saving easier. This week's key piece? Scholarships.
Many outside organizations and businesses award scholarships, so you’ll have to actively research and apply for them.
Summer is the perfect time to search for scholarships! To get started, visit our Maine Scholarship Search page and:
- Download our scholarship tracking spreadsheet.
- Start looking for scholarships using our Maine Scholarship Search tool.
- Check out the additional scholarship sites and organizations listed on the page.
Want some helpful strategies for your scholarship search? Check out our series, "Five Tips for Acing Your Scholarship Game" on TikTok. FAME College Access Counselor Jessica Whittier outlines five quick tips to help you make the most of your scholarship search.
NEXT WEEK: We’ll add another "piece" to your funding pie—financial aid. We’ll help you learn about financial aid so you’ll be ready to apply in December.
