Jenny Said:

Is there money for a high school student who needs a laptop?

We Answered:

You can apply for financial aid if you haven't already done so with the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), which will help with tuition costs and could save you some extra bucks to invest in a Mac.

If you're already receiving financial aid, then scholarships is another option, although it will also be sent directly to the school first, before you see any of the money.

Loans would be your last available option, you may take out up to the amount of your tuition cost, but that would also have to go through with the financial aid application.

Talk to your school's financial aid office for options to help you pay for college, if your tuition is paid for then you should have money to spend on other educational expenses.

scholarships for jr. high student?

We Answered:

Most scholarships will ask for an essay

I live in Canada so the scholarships might be different. But in Canada we have a scholarship called the TD scholarship (i think) and you write an essay and they pick etc.

http://www.scholarshipscanada.com/

Is the site for finding scholarships in Canada (This is for later in your life though)

For right now though...
if youre doing math a good scolarship usually comes from math contests. If you get a high percentile they offer you a scolarship.

All my information is based around Canada, so i guess it depends on where you live.

Keep up the extracurriculars b/c universities do look at that even though it might not get you a scholarship.
