The Scholarship Mystery

I am a counselor and often times people ask me why are there so many scholarships that go with out being awarded. That is a simple question to answer. Many companies and organizations don't advertise them to a broad audience. Others are left because their pool of possible applicants is very limited, so if the right person doesn't find it. I often work with Snow College and they have many scholarships that are not awarded because they are accepted and then they don't use them because the student decides to attend another school. Remember the greatest odds of getting a scholarship comes from the institution in which you are going to attend.
