February Scholarship Countdown

Posted byUnigo Staff May 29, 2015December 7, 2022

February ScholarshipsFebruary has always been one of my favorite months; I get to celebrate my birthday, wedding anniversary and Valentine’s Day all in the same week, which means tons of presents and dinner out. It’s also the month when my favorite candy, conversation hearts, is available. Those sweet treats are so addicting, I’m just thankful that they aren’t available year-round. Although these things are cause enough for celebration, there’s another reason why I love February…Scholarships! Whether you are a high school student, college student, or currently working on your graduate degree, you can find a plethora of scholarship opportunities that are expiring this month.
