Scorching Summer Scholarships

Posted byUnigo Staff May 29, 2015November 29, 2022
By tamara Pool parties, barbecues and vacations are all indicators that summer has arrived. It’s the time of year I always look forward to; soaking in the summer sun and enjoying some free time with my friends. Homework and tests are far from my mind; instead, I concentrate on tan lines and making the perfect backyard burger. Unfortunately, the summer months always seem to fly by and soon I’ll have to start thinking about going back to school. That means scraping together the funds to pay for books, tuition and other college expenses again. If you always seem to be scrambling to find the money for your education each fall, consider tackling these scorching summer scholarships before they melt away like an ice cream cone on a hot, sunny day.
