Four Massive Scholarships for High School Seniors Ending Soon

Attention high school students in their senior year—the Class of 2021: Stop fishing for the perfect scholarships to apply for this month. We've found four you must focus on ASAP. You’ll want to get your applying hands on these four massive scholarships soon. These application deadlines are set to expire at the end of October 2020. And we’re not just talking, large or big...more like a combined gargantuan total of $100,000 in financial aid award amounts. Simply winning just one of these would reduce the out-of-pocket college cost or student loan debt you’d have to take on to help you pay for college. These apply to students planning on attending a four-year or community college. All four are generic so, degree program or specific higher education degrees are not required for any of these financial aid opportunities.
