Paying for College
[edited]

Do you have any personal tips for scoring scholarships? Esp. from people who have scored scholarships.
Answered

As a homeschooled high school senior, I am applying for every scholarship known to man because paying for college is my responsibility. I plan to get my Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering for cancer research. I have a 4.11 weighted GPA and a 1290 SAT. Any advice is welcome! Respect for the hustlers out there trying to pay for college!

First of all, you are one impressive individual! A great way to apply for scholarships are through the website Bold.org. Also, I know this post is about scholarships, but consider applying to grants as well.

Thanks! Do you have any tips specifically for that website, such as improving a profile?

@courtlynlloyd6 months ago [edited]

Yes a great Bold.org profile includes most or all of these: volunteering experience, performance arts, sports, past or current jobs, education goals, and research!

Thanks so much! I am curious specifically about the bio portion :)
