Scholarship for Ethiopians

2012-07-02T06:53:00.001-07:00

Ethiopia has gradually expanding its higher education sector through increasing the number of federal universities in the country.

Important Deadlines for Scholarship Seekers

2012-06-18T01:01:00.002-07:00

The process of finding and applying for financial aid can be a lot to handle. The trickiest part of this business can be finding the time to successfully meet scholarship application deadlines. Unfortunately, the time scholarship applications are due is also a time when students are busy with other academic and extracurricular obligations, such as tests, papers, sports, and part-time employment. However, it’s important to find the time to meet scholarship deadlines, as some awards for which you’re eligible this year may not be available to you next year, especially if you are a current high school senior.
Like the rest of the events on the academic calendar, you may want to divide your scholarship applications into fall semester and spring semester scholarships, especially if you will have time to work on applications over winter break. Focus first on the fall semester scholarships (as well as the ones with January deadlines), then turn your attention to the spring deadlines, which you’ll hopefully find time to meet. Keep in mind other deadlines that you’ll need to meet, including admission deadlines and financial aid deadlines.
