    What:  College & Scholarship Information
    Website:  Cappex
    Cost:  Free 
    Why:  Why not-  This offers a huge list of scholarships as well as complete information on College Searches and requirements.  

    So far I am fairly impressed with this site.  Even though I entered my 12 year old daughter's birth date in the system it would accept it - I am guessing you need to be in high school to actually sign up for an account. I created an account for myself and that I would graduate fairly soon.  It offers a comprehensive search on colleges and their requirements for getting into their college.  The thing I loved most about this site it that there is an abundant amount of information that links to numerous valid scholarships.  While I have 3 children that will be attending college during the same years (twins +1--everything times 3), we will need all the help we can get.  I am definitely bookmarking this to revisit when it is time.  Highly recommended for those with college aged students. 
                                                                                                                                                        




    Deadline:  March 16, 2016
    Who:  7-12 Grade 
    What:  Up to $2500 for Seniors
    $500 for 13 and older
    BONUS:  Teachers of Students who win receive $250 for classroom 

    Great opportunity for a 500 word essay on reflections on themes, characters, and settings from Harper Lee's American Novel, To Kill a Mocking Bird and be able to make connections to their own experiences. Ready, set, GO- Due March 16, 2016!  Good Luck!
