Let's just get something out there right now - college is expensive, and sometimes the Financial Aid process can appear to be extremely overwhelming. But you are lucky because there are a LOT of people out there that want to give high school seniors money to help them pay for college. Local business organizations, non-profits, PTA's, and more. Search for local scholarships here.
