Do Not Wait Until Senior Year
I often hear from parents saying, “my son/daughter will start applying for scholarships in their senior year.”
I have often wondered why.
Senior year is a tale of two drastically opposed semesters. First semester is a frantic flurry of SAT/ACT’s and college applications, in addition to class work and extracurriculars.
Why wait until possibly the busiest time your child will face in high school to throw on another task?
On the flip side, you might think second-semester senior year is the perfect time to really go after scholarship money. Your child suddenly has an abundance of free time, the pressure is on to save some money, and it seems to be the sensible next step.
Let me ask you something: have you ever seen a second-semester senior?
Combine that with the fact that everyone else is going after scholarship money at the same time, so it’s most competitive at this point.
