For many students, the chance of winning scholarships has the potential to dramatically affect their choice of college. Most seniors start looking for and applying to these scholarships in the late fall and early spring, and receive the verdict in May.

Juncos, titmice, and flickers. Believe it or not, these are the names of some common Indiana birds. In the heart of winter, it is normal to see songbirds flocking around neighborhood bird feeders, chattering in the trees or perching on telephone wires. Winter is a time when many people open their wallets and their backyards to the birds. However, not many know about the the hobby at all. Bird feeding is a little-known hobby that is very fun and rewarding.
