Scholarships

QUESTION - Hey, I'm a grade 10 and I'm looking for some tips/advice on how I could get some scholarships. I have about 10 hours of volunteering.

RESPONSE - First things first: Get more volunteers hours. And, don't just get them from one place, go to different places. A lot of scholarships are about volunteer work and what you learnt from each of the places.
 

Most scholarships require students to have volunteer experience!
