This month is dedicated by the National Scholarship Providers Association as a time to raise awareness of scholarship opportunities for current and future college students. November is also an excellent time to begin the scholarship application process if you have not done so already. Many scholarship providers are posting new scholarship information and competitions for the next academic year and November is also an ideal month to dedicate some time to finding scholarships for the current and coming academic years
