Show Me the $$$$$

It's never too early to start planning for college. That includes preparing for Scholarship Applications. We are lucky that the 4-H Foundation Scholarship Application closely follows the Texas 4-H Recordbook. This makes life a lot easier for graduating 4-Hers, if they have done recordbooks during their 4-H career.

The other big "if" that enters into the equation is if they prepared for the process by making good grades, taking the SAT early enough, Etc..... The time to start the process of preparing for the scholarship application is a child's freshman year, or earlier. When they reach their Senior year in highschool, there's not much we can do to help them, if they have not already started.

I know it's a hard sell, but the best audience for Scholarship Workshops is the freshman class, not the seniors.

For what it's worth,
Kevin
