If you are a high school senior, there is no more effective way to earn money than searching, finding and applying for scholarships.

If you spend ten hours researching and applying for scholarships and get $1,000, then you have earned an average of $100 per hour. That beats minimum wage by a long shot.

Here are a few that you might start with:
