Outside scholarships take a lot of time and effort to apply to. Seniors who are already spending a huge amount of hours on schoolwork, extracurriculars, jobs, and college applications often don’t have time, energy, or motivation to complete additional applications. They may submit 50–100 applications and receive just one award, so families should weigh the balance of time spent vs. possible payoff.
