Apply SMART – Win More College Scholarships
To win more college scholarships is what every student and their parents want and need, right?
How is this done? By applying SMART!
They boldly tweet or post online, “I applied for tons of scholarships and didn’t win any!”
Many students blame the system with comments such as, “Scholarships are only for kids at the top of the class or minority students.”
Parents also get frustrated and believe that applying for scholarships is a complete waste of time.
This mindset makes me seriously sad.
My first thought when I hear these complaints is to wonder if they applied SMART. Students who apply SMART win more college scholarships and get more financial aid.
What is applying SMART?
It is having a checklist of mandatory details (like this one) that must be reviewed and utilized for each and every scholarship application before it is submitted.
Applying SMART is treating all applications as if each one is the student’s best work possible, a masterpiece that is sure to impress the scholarship judges.
Applying SMART makes sure each of the points below is utilized and addressed.

My daughter will be a college senior and we have taken loans for her tuition, books, etc. Is is too late to get scholarships at this point? I would hate to take another 40k loan.

Hi,
How do I apply?

Hi Natalie, are you in high school? The best thing to do is get a list of local scholarships from your counselor.
Any tips are appreciated. According to FAFSA we make too much money for assistance but we are struggling coming up with the funds without taking out loans for our upcoming freshman.
Hi Jennifer. Are you on our scholarship email list? There are lots of scholarships with summer deadlines that are still open. You can sign-up (it’s free) right here.
