Three great new opportunities for free scholarship money. The third scholarship listed, AXA, is strictly for high school seniors and actually has a December deadline or the first 10.000 applicants. Since the deadline is somewhat determined by the number of applicants, it’s important to apply early. I will re-post this opportunity for free scholarship money each month, until the application closes.

Most of you have now started your classes, or will soon, make sure to check out this important post on ways to save on text books. We saved over $1400 last year. I do have a new Chegg’s promotion code for you to receive free shipping on orders of $50 or more.  Visit the Chegg website and enter Coupon Code: WOWCHEGGTHX; Expiration Date: 9/30/2016
