Did you know that scholarship judges are typically volunteers? They have full time jobs and very little time --- so it's important that you make your application error-free, easy to read, and well-packaged. Neglecting some seemingly small details can mean that your application never even gets read! Learn some important tips that can increase your success rate in Scholarship Application Secrets.

If you're a high school senior, spring fever may be setting in --- but now is not the time to forget about finding and winning scholarships. If your financial aid package includes loans expected from your parents, remember that this can be a big financial burden for them. They are probably even more motivated than you to increase your financial aid, so enlist their help! Better yet, make it a team effort and take advantage of the fact that others may not be paying attention to scholarship competitions right now. Check out our Scholarship Search Tips and get your parents to do the same. And both of you can enter our monthly $500 drawing --- just click WIN at the top of any page...

Seriously, this is not an April Fools Day prank: today we draw another $500 winner in our monthly Scholarship Giveaway. Once we do that we send an email to our potential winner and that person must reply to us within a specifed timeframe. If we hear nothing we draw one more name and go through the same process. So if you have entered, be sure to check the email address you used when you signed up - we've had several awards forfeited because we received no reply. If you missed it, you get a new chance every month, so sign up and then register for this month's drawing. Read more here and get started!
