Younger students—these are for you. Each year, Unigo.com sponsors an array of awards, each of which has a specific question you are not likely to find on any other application. Questions range from “What if you had the chance to 'do-over' a moment in your life? What would it be? How would it affect you and your future?” to “Imagine that your high school/college has been overrun with Zombies. Use your brain to flesh out a plan.” For younger students just dipping their toes into the financial aid waters, this is a great place to start, since most essays are limited to 250 words. On top of that, Unigo.com has a nifty personalized scholarship-matching tool here.
