Struggling to pay tuition was the story of my life for my first year in college. Like many college students, I got SOME scholarships to attend college but they weren't enough. Financial aid covered about 80% and while that was great my family and I would have to come up with the other 20%. I remember having so much anxiety surrounding my finances and being an international student studying in the USA I had to factor in the exchange rate of what my parents would be trying to contribute and it was literally a struggle! I took up not 1, not 2 but 3 on-campus jobs to ensure that I could sustain myself as well as contribute to my tuition and it was such a strain. I thought to myself there must be some way for me to get some help through getting scholarships and I was right.
