Scholarships are one of the tools that can help you pay your way through college and there’s a lot of them and a lot of applications to fill out and keep track of. Creating a virtual tracker on google sheets or excel can help you keep all the information you need in one place. It can even help you save some time by pin pointing scholarships that may have similar essays so that you don’t have to write a new essay each time!
