College payments are right around the corner for parents of high school seniors – but even if you’re unprepared, all is not lost! We ran across a reassuring little collection of resources to rescue parents who’ve procrastinated payment planning. The folks at Good Housekeeping have put together an inspirational list of overlooked college funding resources.

Check out this gem of an opportunity:

The American Fire Sprinkler Association's (AFSA) Annual Scholarship Contest offers 10 $2,000 scholarships to students who complete a fire sprinkler safety test. Applicants must read an essay about automatic fire sprinklers and then take a 10-question, open-book, multiple-choice test. For each correct answer, students receive an entry into the drawing for one of the $2,000 scholarships, with a total of 10 entries possible.
