It's never too soon to begin your college scholarship search, as many students begin to search for scholarships in their junior level of high school. Loans get the job done, but even though interest rates are low for college students, the money needs to be paid back eventually. Thus, grants and scholarships are desired college cash sources because the money you receive does not require repayment.
The scholarships for high school junior ranges from small, school-specific awards to national contests and competitions that actually give away major scholarship money.
However, the scholarships for high school junior can be competitive. High school juniors have the chance to compete for prestigious scholarships such as The Siemen's Competition scholarship or The Coolidge Scholarship. Therefore, by the third year in high school, juniors will have had a chance to spend a decent amount of time perfecting their application and turn the application in on time.
