Many Texas colleges consider the scholarship application offered by ApplyTexas. Though it isn’t required, the scholarship application can and should be completed at the same time as the admission application, saving students time. Filling both out at once also minimizes the risk of forgetting. For more info on everything related to scholarships, check out our Scholarship Basics blog.
As they fill out the ApplyTexas scholarship application, I always remind my students:
The ApplyTexas scholarship section is a great place for students to start their scholarship search, but it’s not the only place they can look for scholarships.
Students often need reminders about deadlines, but they also need to know about the importance of completing the scholarship application. I like to remind my students that indirect college expenses such as Scantrons, extra copies, computers, and books are not free and must be paid for by the student and their family. Students often forget that scholarships can be used to help cover the cost of books and living expenses as well.
