Financing college may not be as difficult as many think. At least not when money is coming from scholarships and doesn't need to be paid back.The School of Mass Communications again this year is getting ready to award more than $10,000 to its students. The scholarships are awarded based on academic achievements, motivation for future realization and need. Director Judy VanSlyke Turk said students shouldn’t hesitate to apply for the scholarships.
"I would definitely encourage Mass Comm students to apply for one or more scholarships," she said. "I think sometimes students feel they wouldn't stand a chance but that's not the case. We have some great scholarships that are just waiting to be matched with the right student!"
Applications are available for pick up at the main Mass Communications office on second floor of Temple Building.

Criteria for the scholarships vary, but all require that the applicant be returning to VCU for the Fall 2008 semester.
The last day for submitting application packages at the Mass Communications office is Monday, February 18, 2008.
