Welcome back!

Welcome to the first day of classes at the College of the Desert!!


Here are two money sources which apply to most students. One is a scholarship and the other a contest--start being alert to essays which are listed in many magazines. The good thing about contests is that you don’t need Letters of Recommendation, a good GPA nor financial need which means that more students are eligible.

The students in my scholarship class will be required to turn in one scholarship at each class meeting. I will need to see a printout of a scholarship for which you qualify. If you are serious about winning money for your education, you must be focused and spend a minimum of two hours a week searching for scholarships.

Please go to Google:
Scholarship: Short and Tweet Scholarship—the deadline is September 30, 2011
Essay: lifelessons@realsimple.com--deadline is September 15, 2011

There now, part of your assignment for this week has been done for you.
