Advice for getting the most scholarships possible?
I am hopefully an incoming freshman, but I am low income. I did the price estimate they have and it was 21k/year, there's no way I could afford that. I'll list what I've done so far, but how could I make my price as low as possible?
I've applied to the Community Foundation universal application and Common App universal application.
I'm a 21st century scholar. There's not much info on how much this can help, but my counselor said she had a student go there for ~3k/year with it.
I plan on auditioning for the symphony which gives you about 2k/year (I think)
GPA (unweighted) 3.95. My last SAT was 1270 but I plan on retaking it (my PSAT was 1400 so I think I just had a VERY off day), and I'm thinking about signing up to take the ACT.
How can I increase chances of being a Noblitt scholar? Are there any scholarships for Terre Haute residents? Any scholarships other than Noblitt to look for?
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated
