The time is near for everyone to start thinking about college since it is never too early. Throughout the recent years, college has been becoming harder and harder for students and for their families to pay for. There are financial aid opportunities but not all students get to receive aid. This is why outside scholarships are available for students to apply for who are thinking about financing their college education!
There are a variety of different scholarships that mostly all students can apply for depending on the type of scholarship. Students can start to finance their college education early–even starting as sophomores! One of these scholarships is called the Niche No Essay Scholarship which applies to any student planning on going to college, adults going back to school and college students.

The final scholarship is called the College Jump Start Scholarship which students in grades 10-12 can apply to.
