Mentors 4 College Webinar: In Search of Merit Scholarships
Thursday, September 12th | 7-7:30 pm
Colleges award thousands of dollars of scholarships and grants to students every year. This funding from colleges makes up the majority of financial aid awarded to students. As you are researching colleges and deciding which colleges are a good fit for you, it is important to compare how much merit scholarship aid is usually given by those colleges. Join us for our September M4C webinar to learn how to look for this information as part of your college research. If you are a freshman, sophomore or junior, this will be helpful information as you begin your research and post high school planning. If you are a senior, this will be helpful as you are making decisions about which colleges to apply to in the months ahead.
