- Do the optional questions! When it comes to scholarships, everything counts, so make sure you’re filling out all the optional questions and putting your best foot forward in each application you send out.
- Look for scholarships at the college you’re interested in: There are a lot of merit-based scholarships that you can apply for at the college you’re interested in. Many students never find out about these scholarships until they get to campus, but most of these scholarships are only open to high school seniors. Make sure you’re early!
