As students near the end of their high school careers, they're ultimately faced with a rather big decision: do they continue pursuing their education at a post-secondary level or do they follow some other career path they feel best suits their ultimate goals in life?
There are many factors that can have an affect on which choice students make, but for many, the cost of attending university or college can be simply much too staggering to even consider. While there are loans available to students, it can take decades to pay those off, and accumulated interest can leave them in a pit of debt.
One shining light at the end of the dark tuition tunnel comes in the form of scholarships, whether academic, athletic, or some other form targeted at helping college-bound students achieve their education goals without worrying about the cost.
