How Old Do You Have to Be to Search for Scholarships?

Searching for scholarships isn’t only a game for seniors anymore. Did you know there are external scholarships available as early as kindergarten and as late as graduate school? External, or outside scholarships, can be used at any college, making them the most flexible financial aid option out there. 

Moon Prep counselor Michaela was quoted in College Money Tips article on who is eligible, saying:

“While starting a separate savings account for college is the solid solution, you also have creative options to grow that account.
