Scholarship Weekends

So, you’ve been invited to a scholarship weekend at a college in your senior year.  You may have to miss a friend’s birthday party, take time off from work, and you’re just not sure this scholarship weekend is worth it.  Should you go?  Yes!  First of all, colleges don’t invite you unless they think you are scholarship material.  Second, you could miss out on a scholarship if you don’t attend.  These weekends are a series of competitions and meetings with faculty where you are given a score for each session.  In the end, you could get thousands of dollars toward tuition.  A scholarship weekend is a fun experience and could be very fruitful.
