Are scholarships even worth the time?

I am not asking for full tuition or expecting to win every scholarship I apply for. I am just afraid I will spend countless hours or time on applying for scholarships and win/get nothing. I'd be grateful for any type of scholarship.

You can get a scholarship for sure, just pray hard and study hard... do your best and let God do the rest that you are not able to do.... just put your faith in Him and don't lose hope in everything that you do because faith is the very important things to make certain of what you are hoping for... God will surely help those who call on him and those who never stop believing! God bless the works of your hands!

I understand also. I apply each year and so far nothing. I will continue to apply because you just never know. One of my classmates said sometimes if you are in the first year you might not get anything. So now that I am in my second, I'll apply all over again. Hang in there and try even if you don't get it the first few times.

I have applied for quite a few and haven't received anything yet. I am going to continue to apply, you never know. I'm thinking that I will have better luck with working than hoping for a scholarship. It's just going to be hard to pay off the loans while working and taking care of other bills at the same time. Hopefully I can either find a good job or budget financially.

you need lots of hard work and perseverance in order to succeed. don't lose hope. i suggest that you apply in all scholarship programs that you know of, take their exams (if any), and prepare yourself for an eventual interview. if you won't try, you won't get anything. this is a sure fact.

That is true that if you don't try you won't get anything. I will keep trying but I am not going to hold my breath. I may just have to keep working hard to continue to raise my GPA, and work hard to get a good job making enough to pay off the loans and make enough to finish. Thanks.

I understand your pain o2bnocn. My senior year in highschool last year they made up spend hours applying for scholarships on national sites and i don't think any of us got any from them Your best bet is look for local scholarships. You'd be surprised at how many local churches and businesses have scholarships. Whether it's $500 or $5000 it all counts, trust me. Good luck!

I'm going to start looking into local scholarships. I have only been applying to scholarships I am seeing online, not any local ones yet. I didn't really think about this so thank you for suggesting it to me. I might have a better chance of receiving a local scholarship. I'd appreciate any type of money that I can use toward school. College is expensive and I would like to be able to finish soon.
