They say money can't buy happiness, but we’ve all felt that excitement of walking down the street when the glint of something shiny on the footpath catches your eye. You stop mid step to take a closer look - hoping you’ve won the jackpot... $1 - not quite enough to pay off that student loan or mortgage, but better than nothing right?
Unfortunately - scouring the streets for dropped coins probably isn’t the best use of your time if your needing a bit of extra cash.
Hard work pays off
Luckily, there are a number of government and private organizations out there, who are willing to help out individuals in their life endeavors - whether it be a scholarship to help pay for education, or funding for research.
