Want a College Scholarship? Apply by Nov. 1
Many people think of Nov. 1 as the early admissions/action deadline for college; it is also the best date to apply to many schools if you want a shot at getting a merit scholarship.
Looking for college funds? Want to be considered for a merit scholarship?
Many schools (including the University of Michigan and Michigan State University) recommend you get your application in by Nov. 1 to be considered for competitive scholarship review. Your application for admission serves as your application for merit scholarships as well.
The MSU website says: "Michigan State University uses rolling admission; however, the number of qualified applicants has exceeded available space in recent years. For maximum scholarship consideration, seniors should apply by November 1. (Students applying after November 1 may qualify for scholarships if funds are still available.)"
