A Graduate's Perspective

Page history last edited by Ruifeng 14 years, 9 months ago

Now, from a different point of view, this is an interview with Diane Hu, a current grad student in California. From her various past experiences, we thought she could inform us about scholarships and aid.

 

Q: When should Juniors apply for scholarships?

A: It all depends on the deadline for the scholarship. Some are due early, while others are due later. You can start applying as early as June of your Junior year. Many of the scholarship applications are due in the fall.

 

Q: What's the difference between financial aid and scholarships?

A: Financial aid is for those who are not as fortunate money-wise. Also, you might need to pay financial aid back to the college. Scholarships are money rewards that don't need to be repaid.

 

Q: Where did you go for information on scholarships?

A: Talking to your counselor is very informative. There is also a wall full of scholarship brochures in the counselor's office. Learning about these scholarships is just as important as applying for them.

 

Q: What's the difference between a renewable scholarship and a nonrenewable scholarship?

A: Renewable scholarships are those that provide money throughout all of college. Nonrenewable scholarships are just a one time deal.
