A scholarship can make a big difference in how much time and resources you will have during college to spend on enhancing your experience and knowledge through service-learning, volunteer opportunities and internships. The money and security afforded by a scholarship allows you to be more selective in how you spend your free time. Use this time wisely and make the most of it; instead of working at any minimum-wage job you can find to support yourself, select work that is meaningful and adds value to your degree.
