Some are coming due now. Get it done before Christmas Break!! You should be online looking at the deadlines for applications. College applications should be completed online as much as possible. Pay by credit card for application fees. If this is not possible download the college’s application or the universal application, if applicable. Fill it out and mail it with a check or money order to the colleges you are making application to. Letters of Recommendation – You will need letters of recommendation for both college scholarships as well as certain college admissions requirements.
