      Did you know there are college scholarships for students who are support staff for athletic teams?
      You don't have to be the star quarterback or point guard.
      There is money and scholarships for manager, videographers, statisticians, student assistant coaches, and social media assistants.
      School after school from NCAA to NAIA to NJCAA are relying on students, right now, just like you to deliver their athletic programs and serve in key leadership roles…. And… They scholarship them to do it.

    Wow! This helped SO much!!! I've been told by my school to go to a 4 year but I knew from the people I talked too and my parents that that's not the greatest idea. So my plan is I'm going to a community college. Not just for it to be cheaper, start out with a less stressful college, and to do different fun things there but also a small part of me thought that maybe they'd offer scholarships but wow! You secured that thought! It defiantly makes me feel happier about my decision to go with community college. Also, I liked your personal experiences with writing essay's for different scholarships because you talked about being an elf and so was I! You helped a lot and I truly appreciate it. I'm trying to research if it's possibly to live, go to school, and participate in volunteering/extracurricular activities without having loans or paying.

    • @GirlwithDrive
      @GirlwithDrive  6 років тому

      Hi Katie I'm so happy my video helped you. I hate that schools are pushing students to only consider four year colleges. Going to community college is literally the best decision I ever made. I also didn't feel forced to pick a major. It's a great way to get your prerequisites out of the way. I also encourage taking summer/winter session classes if you can. And what I liked about going to community college is that there are so many people from different backgrounds in your classes. Not just 18-21 year-olds. This taught me a lot. You also get to know your instructors more because the classes are small! Let me know if you need any help at all. I post private scholarships that you can apply for on my Pinterest page www.pinterest.com/girlwithdrive/scholarships/

    • @GirlwithDrive
      @GirlwithDrive  6 років тому +6

      Hi Leslie! In my sophomore year at community college, I applied for an academic transfer scholarship that covered my tuition to the university that I transferred to. Most community colleges have transfer agreements with surrounding 4-year colleges and several offer scholarships to eligible students.

      Definitely. Going to a smaller local college has a lot of opportunities and definitely apply for scholarships that are smaller. They really add up and a lot of students don't apply for them.

    • @tapop6745
      @tapop6745 6 років тому

      Usually scholarships will make you write some sort of essay, personal statement or something along those lines. That is the time for you to explain why is your GPA low, what caused it, challenges you faced, and how did you overcame those challenges. It is kind of a way to show that I have low GPA but it could have been lower or it could have been that I never received the degree; however, I didn't give up and received the degree. Pretty much you talk about your struggle!
      Hopefully that helps!

    • @tapop6745
      @tapop6745 6 років тому

      @AK Ton I live and work from United States, but I believe process will most likely be same. Any scholarship or university you apply to will look for someone who have a balance approach to what individual want to do with the research or whatever they are doing, cause and what may the result be. How will the result help the individual and the community immediate or broad. In any case before submitting any proposals or any other kind of written or prototypes they may require, make sure your it is well organized and reviewed by professional advisor or professor. Also if you can, find someone who have done similar PhD program that you are looking forward to do so they can mentor or advise you regular bases. Hopefully that helps! 😊
