Almost every college bound student tries to get a scholarship because it provides free money for college that doesn’t have to be paid back unlike student loans. Scholarships are a great way to fund your college education providing you can get one. There are many types of scholarships and while hundreds of thousands of students receive scholarships every year it can be a challenge to get one. There are many types of scholarships and many things you can do to help you get the scholarship you need.  

The most common scholarships are merit scholarships, need based scholarships, athletic scholarships, and school based scholarships. Students who excel in academics can get a scholarship on the basis of their overall academic achievement. Students who excel in a sport are sometimes offered a scholarship by a school if the student will play the port on their team. Need based scholarships are given to students who can not otherwise pay for their education. School based scholarships are given to students to attend a specific college or university. 

No matter what type of scholarship you are hoping for there are a few things you can do to increase your chances of getting the university scholarship you want. One of the most important things to remember is to start applying early in the school year. Most scholarship programs have early deadlines so make sure you give yourself plenty of time. 

You should start your scholarship search locally because local scholarships are usually less competitive because they are only for students in a small area. Local businesses such as banks, clubs, and civic organization usually offer small scholarships for local students.  

Before you fill out scholarship applications read the requirements so you know you are eligible and do not waste your time. You also need to follow the instructions carefully so you fill out the application correctly and make sure it is considered. 

Your scholarship application should be neat and presentable. Some scholarships can be applied for online so all you have to do is proof read your application for errors. However, some scholarships require your application to be mailed in so make sure it is neat and packaged nicely.  

One of the best resources to help you find the university scholarship you need is your school counselor. They can help you find scholarships you may not know about and give you application tips.  

Doing well in school by maintaining a high GPA and being active in school and civic activities are the best way to ensure that you will be eligible for and will receive a college scholarship.

“Holiday Traditions of Mexico Feliz Navidad”

“”La Posadas,” the remarkable buildup to Christmas Eve, is perhaps the most delightful and unique Mexican tradition. Beginning December 16th, it commemorates the events in the journey of Mary and Joseph from Nazareth to Bethlehem.

After dark, each night of the “Posada,” a procession begins led by two children. The children carry a small pine-decorated platform bearing replicas of Joseph and Mary riding a burro. Other members of the company, all with lighted long slender candles, sing the “Litany of the Virgin” as they approach the door of the house igned to the first “Posada.” Together they chant an old traditional song and awaken the mast of the house to ask lodging for Mary. Those within the house threaten the company with beatings unless they move on. Again, the company pleads for admittance. When the owner of the house finally learns who his guests are, he jubilantly throws open the doors and bids them welcome. All kneel around the manger scene or “Nacimiento” and offer songs of welcome, Ave Marias and a prayer.

Now it’s time of the “Pinata,” refreshments and dancing. The “Pinata” is a pottery (or paper) container, brightly decorated and filled with candy and toys. It is hung from he ceiling or a tree. One by one, the children are blindfolded, turned around and instructed to strike the Pinata with a stick. Usually several attempts are made before the container is broken. Of course, when that happens, there is an explosion of goodies and a scattering of children.

On Christmas Eve another verse is added to the Ave Marias, telling the Virgin Mary that the desired night has come. Small children dressed as shepherds stand on either side of the nativity scene while members of the company kneel and sing a litany, after which the Christ Child is lulled to sleep with the cradle song, “El Rorro” (Babe in Arms).

At midnight the birth of Christ is announced with fireworks, ringing bells and blowing whistles. Devout worshipers surge into churches to attend the famous “Misa de Gallo” or “Mass of the Rooster.” Following Mass, families return home for a tremendous dinner of traditional Mexican foods. The dishes vary with the different regions. However, somewhat common are the ,”tamales,” rice, rellenos, “atole” (a sweet traditional drink) and “menudo,” which is said to be more sobering than strong coffee.

Christmas Day has no special celebration though many have adopted the American style Christmas with a Christmas tree and Santa Claus.”
