<p>Currently I work about ten hours a week. I got the job originally because my family was facing financial hardship, but a few months ago, my mom got a new job and so the little money I made isn't as necessary anymore. I just figure, if I spend 40 hours a month applying for scholarships, even if I just get one for about 500 dollars, I still end up making more than if I had a job. I'm just wondering because it's something I've done for so long, colleges might look at quitting as a negative thing. Thanks for your help everyone! </p>
<p>Uh, no. The best scholarships come directly from the schools. Most other scholarships are only good for your freshman year. Keep working. It’s a good EC and you can use your money to help pay for school.</p>
<p>Keep working. In addition, outside scholarships will often come out of your financial aid if you are applying for any (talking federal level), so they may not make a difference anyways.</p>
