Have you applied for a scholarship yet?!
An estimated $100 million in scholarships goes unawarded each year. This is mostly due to a lack of applicants. National Scholarship Month is a national campaign, sponsored by NSPA, to raise awareness of the vital role scholarships play in reducing student loan debt and expanding access to higher education.
