You may have read that every year millions of dollars in scholarships are not used. Is this true? It probably is, and for some very simple reasons:
1. Because the rules for awarding some scholarships are so restrictive that few students are eligible.
2. Because eligible students don't apply, apply late, or make mistakes on their applications.
But students should beware of the advertising for scholarship searches. Some ads offer, for a fee, to provide students with lists of unclaimed or other scholarships. Even when such ads offer a "guarantee," students are likely to do better for themselves by spending some time in the library and with their guidance counselors.
Talk with your high school counselor and college admissions counselor. Also, check in your library's reference section for material on grants and scholarships. The Internet is another good resource for information.
Campbell's catalog has several pages listing the qualifications for some of our institutional scholarships. Merit based scholarships in academics and the fine arts are also available. The Athletic Department should be contacted for all sports related scholarships.
Remember, with all scholarships, the application dead lines are crucial.
