Need something other than grades.


Question Posted Thursday October 4 2007, 10:25 pm

I was wondering if its likely for me to get a scholarship to a good college. I don't have straight A's, mainly B/B+'s with a couple A's. But I also play 2 sports, one I made varsity as a sophomore, and the other i kind of just play for fun. I'm also in a community service club. Do you think I have a chance of getting a scholarship? because i have 2 other siblings and my dad cant afford to put us all in good colleges. I'm just asking for opinions mainly. thanks!

Well, there are lots of ways to get into college, and scholarships aren't the only way. There are many types of scholarships. You can get them for grades, sports, private scholarship funds, etc.
There are student loans, student grants, financial aide, etc. Like scholarships, you can get grants you don't have to repay.
What you should do is go to your school guidance councilor to help you. They can help you figure out what is the right choice for you and help you apply. Many don't realize that is part of their job, so they don't know to take advantage of their help.
