As a first-generation student, I remember the cost of tuition being the biggest obstacle that was keeping me from attending college and earning my bachelor’s degree. I had no idea how I was going to pay for my education and where to even begin looking for information.
As a former high school student that attended a magnet school in Las Vegas (shout-out to East Career and Technical Academy for preparing me for college!), I remember being super busy with my robust class schedule and my part-time job. Carving out time to fill out scholarship applications was definitely a challenge, but it was well worth it. I tell students that one essay can bring you thousands of dollars, which is much more than you might make at your part-time job. I received so many w88 online casino and grants by the end of my senior year that I was able to pay for all of my tuition and housing expenses. This allowed me to focus on my education and not have to worry at all about finances.
I am certain that there are plenty of other students in the same situation that I was in, so I have put together a list of grants and w88 online casino Nevada residents should look into.
