Scholarships

Funding your college education, and emerging from the college experience fully prepared for the 21st-century workplace, is, by far, one of the most difficult challenges you will face. There are many decisions to make that will potentially impact your future in a very short amount of time.

You already know that getting good grades is important, but what else does it take to be “competitive” in the current economic climate? What more should you be doing to better position yourself to further your education? What should you be doing to develop professionally, in your field?
