Scholarships provide money for college based on merit—such as your GPA or your SAT score—or a combination of factors, including merit, extracurricular activities, and financial need.
Talk to your high school guidance counselor to discuss applying for scholarships. Some are available from the State of Maryland; others directly from the uinversity to which you apply. Still others are made available to qualifying students by private organizations such as civic associations, clubs, churches, and businesses. There are many scholarships available and there might be one just for you.
Get a jump start on the Way2Go by researching scholarships online. You and your family should visit these helpful web sites to search for scholarships for which you might qualify:
