Greetings from the Counseling Center,
The other day I asked a senior what I could do to encourage you all to apply for scholarships more aggressively than you have been. The senior shared that she felt overwhelmed and was extremely busy. I appreciated her honesty.
While I understand the enormous workload some of you are managing, I still say apply to as many scholarships as possible. Trust me on this.
