Where do I start?
I'm in tenth grade and I am already feeling the pressure of applying to colleges. I know that I will definitely need to apply for #scholarships, and I have started looking into colleges that I'm interested in, but I have no clue where to begin.

Hi Kassadie,
It's great you are looking ahead so early on. A great resource here will be your school guidance counselor. Let them do just that, guide you. Create a list of schools you are interested in based on what you anticipate a future Major may be to determine what school best suits your needs. Then, your counselor should be able to assist you in weighing your options of scholarships and/or financial aid. Another alternative is calling the university's financial aid office and ask what is offered. I attended the University of Alabama and had no clue what scholarships were offered. I called the financial aid office and they sent me an entire list that I sought after. In the meantime, keep your grades up as high as you can to make it easier for you to obtain one of these scholarships. Also, get involved with clubs or volunteering if you haven't already as that always plays a big time part in achieving scholarships.
Thanks!
Mike
