As the end of your high school time aproaches
I find is odd that many high school students never give a thought to college scholarship programs until their Senior year. The few who’s parents keep the idea of earning a college scholarship know the you can not wait till you last year of high school to prepare well. Yes all your grades are important. but that is not the only think that is taken into account. Of course Ivy league schools want students with top grades but they will also look at what clubs or political things you did in high school. It is always good to start working for a scholarship long before you are eligible to apply for it.
