June 23, 2005 -- State Universities and Private colleges are experiencing 6-8% average increases in costs each year. The cost of a typical 4 year college education ranges from
$80,000-210,000.
As parents and college-bound students worry about paying for college, many will try scholarship searches. The 500+ search results prove overwhelming to most, which results in paralysis
and denial that any effort will pay off.
Weekly Scholarship Alert offers a free email based service that delivers a manageable 1-5 scholarship notices each Thursday. These scholarships have deadlines approaching in the coming
4-6 weeks. If students will commit to appying for 1 scholarship each week, they have a better chance of success than if they put it off for "tomorrow".
Parents and students can sign up at http://www.WeeklyScholarshipAlert.org/. There is no personal information gathered beyond name and email address.
