 MAY
SCHOLARSHIPS
The price of college has felt out of reach for many for years, even decades! While I believe that college is
not a prerequisite to have a successful life, I also believe that someone who wants or needs to go to
college shouldn’t have to be shackled to student loan debt their entire life to do it.

One great way to help avoid student loans is to win scholarships! And the first step to winning a
scholarship is finding one. Below you will find scholarships that are all due in the month of May. Many
of these scholarships open months earlier so you don’t have to wait until May to submit your
application, but if you wait too long, you’ll miss your chance.

Take the time to apply for some or all of these scholarships and for Mother's Day, give you mom the gift
of not having to pay for your college education!

For additional resources and information about scholarships and paying less for college, feel free to
