November is National Scholarship Month
November is National Scholarship Month!
Why recognize scholarships nationally?
Every year, scholarships help students’ dreams come true by making a college education financial feasible. November is set aside as a time to bring awareness to scholarships and help students find the money they need to go to college. We at Overture Marketplace want to help celebrate National Scholarship Month and raise awareness for scholarships by publishing a list of great scholarships with November deadlines and early December deadlines, as well as including a video on Scholarship America’s Dollars for Scholars program.
Find out more about National Scholarship Month.
For up-to-date information on great scholarships, be sure to check out the Fastweb.com Scholarship Calendar and Scholarship Mentor’s list.
If you know of additional scholarships, please be sure to leave information about them in the comments!
