Do I stand a chance to get any Scolarship?

Paying for College

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I'm going to be ending my jr year very soon, and I guess it is time to think about scholarships. Although I want to apply for scholarships, do I really stand a chance? I've taken honors classes and gotten B's in them.</p>

<p>My overall gpa is 3.333</p>

<p>I've done some volunteer work in the past</p>

<ul>
<li><p>Japanese earth quake fundraiser</p></li>
<li><p>Plan on volunteering at a hospital over the summer</p></li>
</ul>

<p>Extra circular</p>

<ul>
<li>SkillsUSA for two years</li>
</ul>

<p>I've only realized now how important grades are (I was stupid freshmen year getting many C's), and volunteering is. Is there any chance that I can get a scholarship with my unflattering performance?</p>

<p>GPA is often only a part of scholarship qualifying. Usually you need a high SAT or ACT as well (high for the school).</p>

<p>What are your scores?</p>

<p>There are scholarships that you can get that are need based so they look at grades and activities plus the amount of need you have. I would suggest applying for local scholarships because less people apply for them than national scholarships so they’re a lot more realistic for anyone to get, and apply for as many as possible. Your grades and volunteering are fine and won’t take you out of the running</p>

<p>Talk to your GC about what scholarships are available.</p>
