Scholarship Information Every day you need to spend some time googling the internet of scholarships. Make a goal of applying for 40 scholarships during your senior year. There are scholarships out there; you just have to look. Try these websites: Please never pay anyone to search for a scholarship or financial aid for you. I try to check all the websites to be sure that they are free but I might goof on one. If I do, please let me know. Again thanks for being the leader of the Pride. I know that you will continue to lead the Pride in the best direction. -Jeanita Beck back to topGraduating seniors who have been accepted to Texas A&M should be aware of the scholarship offered by the Greater Waco A&M Club.
