Scholarship Mom Tip #7: You May Be Needy
You Need to Know about Need-Based Scholarships
Did you know that some "need-based"(meaning you have financial need) scholarships consider anyone with an income level below $100,000 to be needy?
Don't ignore need-based scholarships just because you think you or your parents make too much money! You never know which income levels are considered "too much" to meet the scholarship qualification guidelines.
Bottom line: If the income requirements are not specified in the scholarship application guidelines and you need help paying for school, apply for the scholarship!

Great advice! I would normally think we wouldn't be eligible for those.

I love this post; so many people unnecessarily leave money on the table.
