“If you press that and select all, then it will bring you up to the scholarship page.”
00:04:21 -->00:04:40
“There are over 35 different pages of different scholarships that you can actually apply for and it kind of will be a little bit overwhelming whenever you're just like coming through it, but to narrow down your search a little bit you can always go to the search bar and type in a specific scholarship or you can press the filter button and this will help you narrow down your search. ”
00:04:40 -->00:04:50
“So when it comes to my personal experience with scholarships I do have a scholarship called the Jags Excellence award which is a scholarship based on high school academics or my past experience.”
00:04:50 -->00:04:57
“This is a great scholarship um but I will say that is kind of where that ends and that's actually one of my biggest regrets from college is that I didn't put in the effort to actually go out and um find different scholarships that I was actually eligible for.”
00:05:06 -->00:05:13
“So if you want a tip of advice just go do the General Application and then uh look for as many scholarships as you can just because this is a great way to pay for college without having to pay back later and lastly if you do have any questions about anything feel free to contact us and we can always answer those questions for you thank you.”
