Add These December Scholarships to Your Wish List!

Posted byUnigo Staff May 29, 2015November 22, 2022

What new gadgets and toys will make your holiday wish list this year? Maybe you’re dreaming of the new iPhone 6 or one of those curved smart TVs. You might even be adventurous enough to ask for a trip to Europe, but there’s something else you probably should consider adding, as well — money for college. Yeah, we know it’s not fun to think about saving money, but it really will be appreciated when those college tuition bills start rolling in. And, it’s definitely better than getting another polka dot sweater from your grandmother (seriously, stop buying these!). Even if you have a huge extended family, you may still fall short of receiving enough money to help cover all your expenses next semester. That’s where we come in. Although we’d love to give you (and everyone else) a present this year, it’s simply not possible. So, we’re doing the next best thing and wrapping up this list of December scholarships just for you!
