Are you a middle-class student looking for scholarships to help pay for college? Do you want to find merit-based scholarships, college scholarships without financial need, scholarship contests, and awards for students who do not qualify for need-based financial aid? Are you searching for scholarships for higher-income households, middle-class scholarships, or financial aid alternatives that can help reduce college costs?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, the second edition of Scholarships for Middle Class Students can help.
Many students and parents assume scholarships are available only to families with significant financial need. As a result, middle-class families often overlook valuable scholarship opportunities, college funding options, and other sources of money for college that can help reduce student loan debt and protect parent savings or retirement accounts. However, many merit scholarships, achievement scholarships, leadership scholarships, talent-based awards, and cash prize contests are available to students who demonstrate academic excellence and other strengths.
In the second edition of Scholarships for Middle Class Students, Marianne Ragins, a $400,000 scholarship winner and experienced scholarship workshop leader, explains how students can find scholarship money, no-need scholarships, college scholarships, and competitive scholarship contests even if they do not qualify for need-based aid. This practical guide helps readers discover ways to pay for college, reduce reliance on student loans, and make higher education more affordable.
