Even if you get admitted to college, will you be able to afford it? Many students make the mistake to wait until their senior year to investigate scholarship opportunities, but then find out several things including:
1. They could have applied for a variety of scholarships earlier in their academic career.
2. They are too pressed for time to apply for college, remain involved in their academics and extracurricular activities, and then apply and meet the criteria for scholarships they find.
3. They don't know where to go to find the information about scholarships.
My advice: It is never to early to start searching for money. Begin your freshmen year, and if you can apply go ahead and give it your best. Also, you have got to make the time to apply even with all that is going on.
Some students are finding that even though they were able to get admitted to their college of choice, they are not able to afford it and are then forced to attend another school. Check out this article on this exact subject called Studies Show Most States Fail in Financial Aid.
