Happy Friday, everyone. National Reading Month (March) is winding down in favor of April, which is Financial Literacy Month! WOOT WOOT! It’s about to be our month!!! Until then, here’s another highlight from our huge collection of nonfiction articles…
Mistakes That Will Cost You a College Scholarship
What is it? A Time magazine article about three problems to avoid once you’ve got a college scholarship so you can be sure to keep the college scholarship.
Why is it cool? In putting together our Paying for College unit, we found tons of websites devoted to the how to get a scholarship, but there are far fewer on how to keep a scholarship. While this article’s perhaps a bit longer than it really needed to be, it addresses an important topic if students want to keep themselves funded for all four (or five… or six…) years of undergrad.
Questions I Might Ask:
Where is it in the NGPF collection? This is resource 16 in our “Grants & Scholarships: Free Money!” lesson in the Paying for College unit.
Activity: Before You Make That Decision…Consult Your Future Self
Pay your credit card on time!!! But what if you don't?
Question of the Day: What percentage of high schoolers, full-time college students, and part-time college students work while in school?
Question of the Day: [Veterans Day] What percentage of tuition and fees does the Post-9/11 GI Bill cover for veterans attending an in-state public school?
Question of the Day: What is the average amount of student debt for college graduates?
When I started working at Next Gen Personal Finance, it's as though my undergraduate degree in finance, followed by ten years as an educator in an NYC public high school, suddenly all made sense.
