I often wonder have they ever thought about the scholarships that are given by the clubs and civic organizations near them. Or, their own workplace? Or even the places they receive goods and services from on a weekly basis?
In this weeks episode of the Get The Acceptance Letter podcast, I talk about the ways going deeply local can result in big scholarship dollars!
