Although it's the student's job to get scholarships to pay for school, I think it's the advisor's/counselor's job to present the student with information they wouldn't have normally heard about. I've been in a situation where I just wanted some resources that I can check out on my own, but instead, my counselor led me in circles about grades and classes. I feel like I should at least had an answer to my question. My counselor stated that before I start looking for scholarships, I need to do certain things in certain classes etc. Without scholarships and funding, there was no way I could take classes in the first place. At that specific school I went to, my counselor did not help me at all, but a lot of schools have people that'll send out mass emails with generic scholarships that everyone could apply to. I don't think they do nearly as much as they can to help with scholarships though.
