where can i find grants & scholarships for college school?

Answer 1

First check with Financial Aid with the colleges you are considering. They will let you know which scholarships are available specific to that school. Your Guidance Counselor should be able to help you as well; you will need to fill out a FAFSA form for grants & loans. That is available at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov
For more scholarships, go to http://www.scholarships.com and http://www.fastweb.com/. You can complete profiles and they will list scholarships that you are eligible for.

Scholarships are tricky!! Like picking a car or a shirt, you wanna get it from trustworthy people. The two places I reccomend you do yor search is www.fastweb.com and www.collegeboard.com. Also, different websites have their different contests (I found a contest on www.takemeaway.com, which is Calgon's website).

BEWARE OF SCHOLARSHIP SCAMS!! Here are 6 signs to detect a scam.
1: "The scholarship is guaranteed or your money back." Don't you think we'd all be knee-deep in money? No one can guarantee that they'll get you a grant or scholarship. Refund guarantees often have conditions or strings attached. Get refund policies in writing - before you pay.

2: "You can't get this information anywhere else." Scholarships are NOT that exclusive.

3: "May I have your credit card or bank account number to hold this scholarship?" Hold a scholarship? That doesn't sound right...

4: "We'll do all the work." Don't be fooled. There's no way around it. You must apply for scholarships or grants yourself.

5: "The scholarship will cost some money." or "You have to purchase one of these items." The only time I've encountered paying something for a scholarship was a fee to participate in a piano competition. RARELY do you have to pay something. Hardly ever. You NEVER have to make a purchase! Before you send money to apply for a scholarship, check it out. Make sure the foundation or program is legitimate.

6: "You've been selected by a 'national foundation' to receive a scholarship" or "You're a finalist" in a contest you never entered. You wish it was that easy.

Scholarships are exactly that: money awarded to you because of your scholarship. If they just ask for your name, address, email, and telephone .., it's either a CONTEST, or spam to fill your mailbox. Nothing wrong with contests if it's from a respected company, but sometims the contest don't really exist.

Start with the FASFA for grants (www.fasfa.edu.gov). This application is required for all government grants, loans, etc. Scholarships are everywhere! Do a google search, check with your guidance counselor, look in your local paper, and call the local college/university to see what applications are available.


As a non-traditional student, I would suggest you apply for everything that you can find. Many scholarships go unclaimed.

Answer 4

Fill out the fafsa, if you're an american. You might qualify for a Pell Grant, which you don't have to pay back. Also, you might try looking on Fastweb.com. They have scholarship searches and college searches. Many colleges also give out scholarships based either on grades or ACT/SAT scores. Good luck!
