work on your own scholarship application plan. You’ll also learn about and try out different

scholarship websites, learn how to best use a scholarship information tracker, and learn to avoid some of the challenges of the scholarship process.  Students and parents interested in learning about the scholarship process can join Nikki Vachon, College Access Counselor with the Finance Authority of Maine for this 1-hour workshop as we talk about scholarships.  This
