    What's up?

    Okay, so here's the plan for this page...it will ALWAYS be under construction. The goal of this page is to provide places for you to go to get scholarship  and college information, as well as create goals for yourself. As I find links or individual scholarships, I will post them here for you to use as you see fit. If you find a scholarship that you would like to share, please send it to me for inclusion on this page.
