Paying for College

<p>Hi! </p>

<p>I am a high school senior going to college next year(2009). I finished applying to different schools that are on my list. But I am not sure when should I apply for different scholarships and grants offered by different schools. I know that I have to apply for FAFSA next month in January, but I am not sure when to aply for different merit or need based scholarships to different schools I applied to since I won't hear from the schools until March/ April. </p>

<p>So, my question is when should i apply for these merit or need based scholarships? I indicated that I want to be considered for meed/ merit based scholarships but I don't know what to do next. :( Any suggestions. what I should do now??</p>

<p>Check with each school. They will each have their own deadline. Probably soon.</p>

<p>Some schools freshman scholarship applications are part of the admissions applications. Some scholarships may have separate applications. You must must must check with each school.</p>

<p>Thank you for that information. That's what I thought. I am gonna call each school.</p>

<p>^ It may help to look at their individual websites rather than calling. I don't think colleges are too fond of calling for information that can easily be found online.</p>

<p>Agree with AC ^^. Most schools have the information posted quite clearly on their web sites. Look it up. Only call if you cannot find it.</p>
