πŸ”‘ Stack SMALL renewable scholarships ($50–$2,500+) for BIG impact
πŸ”‘ Repurpose your college essays into a modular essay bank for faster applications
πŸ”‘ Beware of scams β€” legit scholarships NEVER ask for money or just your email
πŸ”‘ Leverage local organizations, employers, community foundations & niche scholarships
