Do I need a 4.0 PDF- Print- E-mail-

Do you need a 4.0?

I wanted to share with you a common misconception when it comes to whether or
not you qualify for scholarships. A lot of people tell me that if they don't
have a 4.0 or they are not incredibly close to that area, that they won't
qualify for the scholarship or grant. To state it plainly, it is not true.

The vast majority of scholarships and grants usually have a range that you
need to be with in. Like they will say something like you need to have a
grade point average of a 3.2 or higher to qualify. But these requirements
usually are only applicable to merit based scholarships and grants.

On the other hand there are financially based scholarships and grants, also
known as "need based scholarships or grants". These types of scholarships are
solely based off your financial situation and usually don't have any type of
GPA requirement. So you have many possibilities out there that don't require
you to have a stellar GPA to get some free cash for college.

Say you have a 2.5 GPA or something, and you are worried about that affecting
your ability to get scholarships or grants. My advice is to focus on your
strengths, something you are really good at or you have a lot of passion for.
Try hard in your scholarship cover letter to relate your passion with
receiving this certain scholarship. Believe it or not there is someone out
there reading everyone of those scholarship applications hat come in and if
you show them that you are dedicated and passionate about succeeding more
times than not you will be successful in acquiring some scholarships if your
words are truly genuine.

Please don't think that you have to have this amazing GPA or be the next
Einstein. If you show them you are dedicated for a certain path through
college and show them how passionate you are at being successful in a
particular field, then you will be surprised at how much money can come your
way. Like I said before, there are a bunch of people reading your application
and if they feel you are truly going to succeed if you receive this money
they will be happy to give it to you.

Hope this helps,

Lacey

Avoid the Biggest Mistakes Made by Parents PDF- Print-

1. Start the Application Process Late

The most scholarship opportunities are available to students their senior
year of high school. Many parents leave the responsibility to their children
to find out what is available and they find out too late what was available
to them. Often their kids have "senioritis" and do not think they need to
worry about how they will pay for college, assuming their parents will take
care of that problem for them or that a counselor or teacher will tell them
what grants and scholarships they should apply for. Parents should start
planning beginning the freshman year of high school. If this has already
passed, don't get too discouraged. Begin by looking locally and be aggressive
in your search.

2. Do Not Keep Records of Child's Accomplishments and Valuable Work From High
School

From freshmen year on, it would be valuable to keep a folder dedicated to the
works of your child. What should you include in the folder? Any essays that
were written well and all of those that contain a personal nature. Any honors
achievements, honor classes or awards of achievement. Final report cards and
academic history. Community service records, any organizations/clubs/sports
they belong to. Plus letters of recommendation will make your life a lot
easier when you need to begin writing admission essays and filling out
scholarship application forms.

3. Neglect to Ask for Help

A great place to look for assistance and to find out what is available to
your child, is to start with their high school well before they are to
graduate. If your school does not have a financial aid coordinator go to a
guidance counselor. Many of the scholarship applications and information that
are offered locally are sent directly to the school and give to guidance
counselors. While they may not have the time to go through the information
with you personally, they can offer a starting point. You can always go to
your school board as well to see if they have any scholarship information or
assist in pointing you in the right direction.

4. Discounting Local Organizations

Unfortunately, most of the information about local organization scholarships
are not easy to track down in one central location. You may have to call
around to each one individually to see if they have any scholarships they
offer. Some great places to start with are the Lions Club, Elks Club, Rotary
Club, Daughters of the American Republic, GFWC Women's Club, Exchange Club,
or other civic clubs in your area. Churches and local businesses are also a
great place to reference.

5. Think Your Child has to be a Quarterback or a Straight A Student to
Qualify?

While there are many scholarships that are dedicated to sports and honors
students, there are as many, if not more scholarships available to everyone
else. Great grades and outstanding achievement won't hurt your chances, but
almost every area of interest has their own scholarship opportunities. Use
your child's strengths and interests as a place to search locally as well as
statewide to see what's available. Having a passion will get them plenty of
recognition and help you find the funding you need.

6. Owning a Home or Making Over $75,000 a Year Disqualifies You

The definition of need varies considerably depending on the cost of tuition
of the school. Many families who consider themselves middle class will be
able to qualify for needs based scholarships. Plus, there are many
scholarships that are merit based where your financial situation is not a
factor. Instead, they focus on the skills, achievements and talents of the
student to determine the most eligible candidates.

I hope this helps,

Lacey

Textbooks on Your Kindle? PDF- Print- E-mail-
Written by Administrator
Sunday, 20 March 2011 11:32

It's true! There are nearly 10,000 different textbooks that are available on
your wireless readers now. Not only can that save your back by not having to
carry all of those books around, but it can save you cash!

The average cost of books on your Kindle is about $20 to $30 less than you
would pay at your bookstore. So if you were to get all of your textbooks this
way, you could save $100 to $200 on your expenses per term.

This cost of buying a wireless reading device can set you back in the initial
investment of $140 to $380. But if you think of the long term benefit,
especially if you're an avid reader, it can be worth the expense. Plus there
are hundreds, if not thousands of classic novels that are available on these
devises for FREE! (The copyright laws before 1923 make it so that all of
these books are available at no cost...Pride and Prejudice anyone?)

A great perk is the cost of a wireless connection with Kindle and Nook is
included for free, so you can access the books at anytime from anywhere.
Which makes studying on the fly easy!

You're also helping out the environment by saving trees (since there isn't a
physical book), and emissions (by not having the book shipped to the store or
to you). Another benefit is that these devices are compatible with computers
and a lot of cell phones, like the Android. So you can share these files with
many of your other devices!

You've just got to love technology sometimes. I wish people weren't glued to
them as much as they are, but they sure make sharing information a lot more
convenient!

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.
