March College Scholarship Deadlines Can Easily Be Forgotten

A number of college scholarships have deadlines in March and are easy to forget due to the overwhelming task of preparing

Boca Raton, FL (prHWY.com) February 24, 2011 - With the number of tasks involved in applying for colleges in the fall, one thing that can fall through the cracks is attending to the college scholarship application dates. According to Dee J Cohen, licensed social worker , "College seniors are dealing with writing admission essays, checking out schools and adjusting to leaving their friends. It is easy to forget the deadlines for scholarships due to being so overwhelmed." Scholarships are a necessity for many to be able to attend school in the fall but can get eclipsed by the enormous number of tasks involved in preparing for college as well as dealing with senior year homework and sports. At her blog, Social Work Programs, many unknown scholarship awards are listed. For each school or each field of expertise, there are limitations and deadlines that have to be met by aspiring scholars. Below are some of the universities and special schools that have March Scholarship Deadlines.

The NASA College Scholarship Fund is an aid for students who are dependent of current or retired employees of NASA.
