need help with scholarship

Paying for College
1

<p>i've been screw around on collegeboard and fastweb. two biggest search engine for scholarship, i've found tons of them</p>

<p>however most of them require me to write an essay, so i don't what I should do
mom tells me to write them, but there are like 1000 of them, so i need to write 1000 essays? hell no, i rather work at walmart and pay loan than write ***** load of essays that still depend on chance.</p>

<p>so anyone know what I should do? what type of scholarship should I do?/what scholarship worth an essay? I don't mind write 5 or 10, but 1000 is just too many</p>

<p>my income is about 45000/yr, and is a 3 ppl family dependent.</p>

<p>i would look at local scholarships. Most of the essay contests of fastweb are national, and therefore you will have a small chance to win them. Ive appled to around 10 outside scholarships with essays. Around 7 were local.</p>

<p>Talk to your school counselor or look at your school's website (if they have one) for scholarship info.</p>

<p>I would call/email the people and ask them how many applications/entries do they generally recieve and how many scholarships do they give. That way, you can gauge your chances at winning the scholarship.</p>
