Research Gas Prices to Save Money!

As the price of gas goes up once again thanks to the uncertainty in the Middle East - a little research can go a long way towards saving you some money when you need to fill your tank.
There are a number of websites which track gasoline prices but the one I've found the most helpful is http://www.gasbuddy.com/. It's easy to use and it gives lots of results for easy comparison. (and NO I am not an affiliate and I won't get paid for sending you there!)
A few cents per gallon or litre adds up over time! Take some time to do some research and save yourself some of your hard earned dough!

Deadlines!! Deadlines!!

Just a reminder to keep on top of deadlines for scholarship applications. This is the beginning of the busiest time of year for application deadlines - many have already passed their deadline.
Make sure you do your research on the specific scholarships you want to apply for and keep yourself very aware of when you need to have your paperwork handed in - or mailed in.
Even if you are simply renewing your annual scholarship or grant money make sure you know when the required forms are due at the student finances office.
A little bit of due diligence now can make sure you get all the money you have earned - and deserve - for school next year!
