PRACTICAL ADVICE TO HELP YOU
GO TO COLLEGE FOR FREE

with friends, but it will be worth it.

scholarship dollars. Put in the work!
RACK UP YOUR VOLUNTEER HOURS
At your school, church, community center, or
local charity, opportunities to volunteer are
endless. Make yourself available and be the best
volunteer ever. Show up on time, dress
professionally and work well with other. Be sure
to get a recommendation letter from the
organizations you work with when you leave.

writing muscles. Dedicate some time
each month to complete applications. Check out
the popular scholarship apps you can donwload
right to your smartphone!
CALL OR VISIT SOME COLLEGES
Connect with the financial advisors on
the college campuses that you are
considering. They know where the
money is and how you can get it.
PRAY HARD
Ask God to show you the way. He knows
how to help keep you and your family
out of student loan debt. Just ask! Start
praying and prioritizing today. God
honors our diligence and promises to
give us wisdom freely when we ask Him.
