What advice do you have for prospective students?

Diversify your scholarship applications. Think of paying for college like a puzzle. Each scholarship you receive becomes a piece to the puzzle and before long you will start to see the picture of how to pay for school. University scholarships, national scholarships, and third-party scholarships are great places to start.
