March Scholarship Countdown

Posted byUnigo Staff May 29, 2015February 2, 2023

By tamara

March ScholarshipsMarch is a busy month; many students are counting down the days to Spring Break and starting to dread upcoming final exams. High school seniors are anxiously awaiting their decisions from colleges and finding out how much their college tuition bills may be this fall. Luckily, March is also one of the busiest months for scholarships, so students should be able to locate plenty of opportunities to help pay those upcoming expenses. Whether they are in the first grade or graduate school, students of all ages will be able to find something of interest on this month’s scholarship countdown, so there’s really no excuse for not applying. Hopefully, many will have the luck of the Irish on their side and win some of these awards, too!

As always, students should review the scholarship guidelines to make they are eligible to apply and follow instructions for submitting their applications; it’s important to pay close attention to word count limitations, formatting rules, and most importantly – the deadline date. With everything else that is going on this month, it’s easy for students to let their scholarship hunting take a back seat, but now is not the time to start slacking on the search for free college money. Students should check their online scholarship resources at least twice a month to ensure they don’t miss a single opportunity and schedule time to complete their applications. Those who keep their head in the game will have a better chance of finding that notorious ‘pot o’ gold’ at the end of the rainbow.
