I’m a rising senior (class of 2017), what scholarships have y’all applied for? Does anyone from the class of 2016 have a list of scholarships that I should give a shot? I know it’s alittle early, I was just trying to get a list together, so I would be ready by August! Thanks!

It is not too early, but it is the kind of thing you need to research on your own. Only you know your qualifications (SAT scores, background, interests, volunteer history etc) so my list of scholarships may not be applicable for you. It is also part of the learning experience. Doing the work now, and then writing essays over the summer, getting your resume together, looking to see where you may be lacking (i.e. no volunteering) gives you a chance now to fill in gaps to make you a better candidate.
Please also read the Financial Aid forum, listen to what the expert posters there are saying about the fact that the best scholarship money coming directly from the colleges themselves, not getting attached to one school, making wise application choices etc. Doing your homework now we pay off in the long run!
Best of luck!
