SCHOLARSHIPS
You’ve found the college of your dreams, you’ve got the required
scores on all of your standardized tests, you’ve hit your target GPA,
and you’ve received that coveted acceptance letter…now how are
you going to pay for it?
This is the question that so many college-bound students and parents agonize
over, and in today’s economy, this is likely to continue for some time
to come. Grants, scholarships, and other forms of “free money” are
increasingly difficult to come by, and the competition for the awards that
are presented is fierce.
Students taking part in the College
Application Program at
Toby Rose’s
College Prep of Miami, Inc. have taken a significant step in ensuring success in their quests
for scholarship dollars. Independent College Counselor Toby Rose focuses
her attention and imparts her knowledge directly and personally upon each
student
in the program, and helps each student discover and apply for the scholarships
that most closely match their needs, grades, and/or talents.
There are scholarships for high grades in high school, for being part
(even a small part) of a certain minority group, for participation
in various activities,
for having a musical or theatrical talent, or for being the first in a generation
to attend college. There are even scholarships for students who are extremely
tall or short, for being left-handed, or for being overweight! Corporations
sponsor many scholarships, as do civic organizations.
Most people are aware
of scholarships offered for those with talent in sports such as football,
basketball, and baseball, but many are not aware that a student with
competitive talent
in ping-pong may also be eligible for tremendous financial assistance from
a university with a sanctioned ping-pong team!
Students who have been successful in securing scholarship money have
done so primarily due to submitting an outstanding essay (or several
essays, as some
scholarships require up to five different essays in their application packets).
Students in the Toby Rose’s
College
Prep Application Program receive
one-on-one assistance with the entire scholarship process, from finding the
scholarships best suited to them to filling out and submitting the application
forms. Writing Specialists on staff meet with the students to help them create
and perfect their winning essays.
Trying to win scholarship money can be overwhelming, to say the least, but
at Toby Rose’s College Prep, we take much of the load off the shoulders
of our students and parents, so that the thrill of being accepted to that “perfect” university
is just that…perfect!
