There are hundreds of scholarships provided by organizations around Colorado. Below are a few guidelines to keep in mind when applying for scholarships.  

• Deadlines are important. Check the website to make sure you are aware of the deadlines and can apply in time.

• Begin your search early. Scholarship deadlines are typically November-April for the upcoming year.

• Do your research. There are thousands of scholarships available, it just takes time to find them.

• Get help. Get a friend or family member to read your applications before you submit them. A second set of eyes can help find any mistakes.

• Every bit helps. Some scholarships may seem small, but remember that every dollar you save now could save you double or triple down the road.
