Scholarships and grants do not have to be paid back and can help finance your education. If you have received scholarships in the past, do what you can to increase your chances of receiving the award again. One suggestion is to send a thank-you letter or note after receiving an award. Be sure to find out if you can reapply for the scholarship/grant the next year and make note of important application deadlines.
