I am a person who likes to help people as much as I can without doing all the work. So with my peers and my friends, I help them look for scholarships that pertain to their field or intended major. After giving them a couple of potential scholarships, I tell them that there are scholarships for everything if one looks for it. The more one applies for scholarships the higher the chances are to receive a scholarship. That is another pitfall that students make; they only apply for one or two scholarships....
