17-Year-Old Senior with 3.4 GPA – Feeling Lost About Scholarships and College

General Scholarships Discussion
1

I’m a 17-year-old senior with a 3.4 GPA, and I’m feeling pretty uncertain about my college future. I didn’t apply for any scholarships over the summer between junior and senior year, and now I’m worried it might be too late. My extracurriculars aren’t particularly outstanding, and to top it off, my ACT score isn’t great either (I’m planning to retake it, though).

I’m just not sure what to do next. I’m feeling really discouraged and could use some advice. Is there still a chance for me to secure scholarships, or should I be looking at other options? Any guidance would be really appreciated. :thinking:

It’s not too late! Retake the ACT to boost your score and start applying for scholarships now many deadlines are still open. Look into local scholarships, financial aid, and schools with strong support services. Consider community colleges as a stepping stone if needed. Stay positive and keep pushing forward.
