Q: Colleges usually offer grants or partial scholarships. Look for programs or scholarships from outside sources that can help with the remaining cost. Apply for as many of these scholarships as you can to reduce the cost of your education as much as possible. Once you are in college, maintain the academic standing required of your scholarship. Most grants or scholarships require that you maintain a certain GPA or otherwise remain in good academic standing. Continue to work hard and get grades high enough to keep your scholarship for as long as you need it. Athletic scholarships are highly competitive, and they only go to the best players in a region or state. If you're not the best player on your team and in your region, getting an athletic scholarship will be difficult. Practice and work hard to improve in your sport. Contact coaches at colleges you're interested in.  The best athletic schools might overlook mediocre academics, but if a scholarship comes down to you and a similar player with better grades, chances are it'll go to the other person. Because of this, keep your grades up, too. Being proactive about getting recruited will put you on the coach's radar as an athlete. Since you came to them, they'll know you're interested in their school and will be more likely to consider you. While this scholarship can help you get a top-tier education for free, it comes with a cost. You'll have to spend upwards of 20 hours a week practicing your sport, which can keep you from investing in the academics of college. These scholarships are also re-awarded each year, so they can be taken away if your coach doesn't feel you need or deserve it each year.  Consider lower-division schools, too. While you may dream of playing for your favorite Division I school, these scholarships are much more difficult to get. The ROTC also offers scholarships if you're looking into joining the military. For most ROTC programs, you will serve four years of active service and four years with the Individual Ready Reserve, during which you can be called back to active duty. For certain positions, this commitment may be longer or shorter. For instance, pilots usually commit to 10 years of service. ROTC programs operate in over 1000 colleges and universities in the country. Decide on, apply to, and gain acceptance to one of these schools. If necessary, specify that you're applying as an ROTC student. You can then apply for the scholarships from there.  Make sure you fulfill the basic requirements for an ROTC scholarship. For high school students, you must be a US citizen between 17 and 26 years old, have a GPA of at least 2.50, have a high school diploma or GED, score a minimum of 920 on the combined math and verbal SAT or 19 on the ACT (excluding the writing portion), and meet certain physical requirements.  In order to keep your scholarship, you must maintain certain physical and academic standards throughout your college career. Make sure you stay physically fit, and keep your GPA above the required minimum (2.50 or 3, depending on your branch of ROTC). Scholarships can be taken away if you fail to meet the necessary requirements, so be aware of your standing within your program. After college, fulfill your service commitment. ROTC gives you a free college education, so be sure to honor your commitment to service in the armed forces. Do you have an unusual hobby? Are you from a minority or military background? Are you a first-generation college student? What are your talents and interests? Write down everything you can think of, and make a note of anything that might help you land a scholarship. There are tons out there that you may qualify for.  Use reputable websites like CollegeScholarships.org, FastWeb, or  Scholarships.com to search through many available scholarships. Research everything you can think of to find scholarships that you might qualify for, or look through a list of scholarships for those that fit your background and interests. If applicable, put together a portfolio, promotion video, or other material to display your skills. Scholarships in the arts generally require proof of the quality of your work. For writing, photography, or art, put together a portfolio to display the quality and diversity of your work. For dance, music, or other talents, make audio or video recordings of your best performances. These don't need to be fancy, but they should show off your talent as well as possible.
A: Apply for academic scholarships. Aim for an athletic scholarship. Consider going the ROTC route. Apply for more unique scholarships.

Q: You might even mix them. Bend the hand from around the middle to form a slight U-shape hook. Keep the hook slightly facing outward––don't press too far back toward the cutlery. Whether you bend toward the front of the fork or spoon, or away from it, will depend on your preference for the final look, as well as whether the base of the cutlery has a monogram you'd like to show. If you bend to face the front of the spoon or fork, a monogram at the base of the handle will be hidden, whereas if you bend the hook toward the back of the fork or spoon, the monogram will show up clearly on the outside of the hook. This is much better where you want the monogram to feature. The hooks should be located for ease of use, such as near the stove, above a work space, over the sink, etc.  Attach each utensil hook with a screw. (Or use liquid nails if you're not drilling.) Slide a small screw or nail through the hole and center the piece on the surface or wall. You could use a pencil to place a small hole on the surface before screwing it in to ensure you mount it in the right place.
A: Find some solid, quality spoons or forks. Bend the spoons or forks into a hook shape. Choose a good place to attach the hooks. Using the drill, make a hole in the fork or spoon just at the base of the head, top of the handle. Drill a hole into the wall.

Q: You don't have to use a gmail.com address to own a Google account, you can login to Google with just about any email address. For GMB to work, your Google Account must be associated with the location you are trying to add or  manage. If you do not have a Google account associated with your business, create one. This account will be linked to the Google My Business dashboard you are creating. If you do not have a Google account, click on "Sign in",  then "More Options" and finally "Create Account" at www.google.com. Follow the instructions to create an account. Click on the green box in the middle that says “Start Now”. Getting your business on Google will allow you to give your customers correct information about your business location, phone number, hours, photos and services provided. It will also enable your customers to give your business ratings and reviews, and read news that you post. Double check that the address and phone number match your business. This step applies if your business did not appear under the search results for “Find your Business”. If Google does not have your business listed, you will need to add the details of your business.  Click the category your business falls under. For example, “Attorney”. The category is extremely important for Google to rank your listing. It's very important to note that while Google offers more than one category for your listing it is preferable to choose only one. Using more than one will not help your ranking at all. Accurately fill in the details of your location. This will include the business address, phone number and the category you business falls under, for example, “bakery”. If applicable, make sure to check the box that says “I deliver goods and services to my customers at their location”. Then fill out the areas you serve by entering the city names or zip codes of the regions you serve.
