Scholarships for people between the ages of 21-24?

Question

I've been searching everywhere for scholarships to help my younger sister with college and most of what I found were either for Senior high school students or people who are older than 24 (because they're no longer considered dependents). She's 22. Her major is Psychology and she should be having her AA by June at a junior college with a 3.5 GPA. She wants to work towards a Phd. I'm not sure if this information helps any.

Answer 1

try to aim for grants/scholarships... they are not to be paid back. its confusing sometimes, but just keep applying. loans are ok, but i would rather grants / scholarships.

if she is looking for psych grants/scholarships, contact local, state and national psych orgs, comittee's, groups for what they offer as well. most offer them, age not an issue.

also, look at FASTWEB first (link below).

every big (and small) company you see (manufacturer, orgs, corps and groups also) all have grants and scholarships they hand out like candy.

heres a link with a HUGE amount of some available. some you will need to copy and paste into a new window. also, fastweb (take the time to fill it in) will search databases and get back to you with a list of scholarships you qualify for.

Also contact all mens, womens associations in your state, they almost always have grants & scholarships. What ever field you are going into, contact the orgs, associations etc for them; Also check with professional organizations related to your career interests, such as the American Bar Association or the American Medical Association. they also always have scholarships. Research and dig, call then write. Its all worth it.

OVER apply; it doesnt hurt to have too many, and the extra funds can help with housing.
