Steps

  1. Research schools that offer full scholarships. You can find a list of US colleges and grad schools that offer full scholarships here. Another site is US News and World Report--go to their "Search Schools" page.
  2. Realize that a majority of schools that offer scholarships do so because they have a big endowment. They have a big endowment because they are good. Since they are good they will not take whoever so you have to be good too.
  3. Keep your GPA up. Even if you are not coming from a top prep school but your transcript has lots of Honor classes the admissions committee will note that.
  4. Understand that in addition to academics, extracurriculars such as FBLA can help. Be a leader in at least one high school club and do not forget to put that on your resume.
  5. Remember, that if you are eligible, there are also sports scholarships available, and you might be interested in that depending on the sport.

Tips

  • Start early. Research and decide which schools to apply to.
  • Be involved in volunteer and extracurricular activities starting in high school.
  • Apply to more than five schools to optimize your chances.
