…I believe this is primarily true for the availability of scholarship money. In such a crazy cycle, I think applying on the later-side didn’t hurt as much as general wisdom states.

…that will cost you nothing. Veteran-specific stuff re: scholarships: if you get a scholarship offer from a public school and you are planning on using GI Bill (i.e. you don’t need the money), ask them if they will convert at least some of it to a stipend you can use on top of your GI Bill. I was able to do this at…
