FREE Webinar: How to Apply for Scholarships with ScholarshipOwl
In this webinar, we’ll share the strategies and techniques that have helped so many students get the most out of their ScholarshipOwl membership, and we’ll also offer additional ideas that can reduce out of pocket college costs, above and beyond applying for scholarships:
- We’ll start with an overview of the basics, including understanding the cost of attendance, and how to apply for federal financial aid with the FAFSA
- You’ll learn how the FAFSA’s Estimated Family Contribution - or EFC – determines your eligibility for need-based aid, and how the EFC may also impact your chances of earning need-based scholarships
- But regardless of your eligibility for need-based aid and scholarships, there are tons of merit scholarships that everyone can apply for. And that’s where ScholarshipOwl comes in.
- We’ll discuss how to start your free trial with ScholarshipOwl, and how to apply for scholarships via the ScholarshipOwl platform. We’ll give you a tour of our dashboard, and show you how to use filter and sort options to streamline your scholarship search. And we’ll show you how ScholarshipOwl makes it easier to apply for MORE scholarships, MORE OFTEN – the key to earning scholarship dollars.
- We’ll also suggest other ways that you can reduce out-of-pocket costs beyond financial aid and scholarships
We can’t wait to share all that we’ve learned over the many years we’ve been helping students. See you soon!
