And the scholarships are not only for those, who were lucky to find a four-leaf clover. The whole point is: there ARE scholarships available for you and for everyone else. So, it’s time to start looking for them. Ready?
Athletic Scholarships
Well, yes, this one is going to work only for a few selected from the crowd. At the same time, athletic scholarships do not require you to be Einstein. Rather, the importance here is in your physical strength, courage and talent.
