What is the scholarship that brings state scholarships to other states if home doesn't have what you need?

Question

I live in GA and I want to attend a school for holistic medicine. Unfortunately, GA doesn't have the colleges I need. I've heard of scholarships that will take the scholarships I'd get in GA and transfer them to the state I need to go to, as long as GA doesn't have the colleges I need. Cany anyone give me more info? I'll never get the education I need without some finanical help.

Answer 1

Typically, state grants or scholarships for such as having a certain GPA or a state HOPE program tends to be tied to the state itself. However, there are thousands of scholarships out there which can be located on the web for free.

First, I recommend filling out the FAFSA form because it will tap into need based financial aid from the state and federal governments along with the college itself. I recommend doing this since you will be attending an out of state schoool. It is based on the family income and financial resources.

Second, the high school guidance office has a list of local scholarships for current high school students.

Third, the college itself has a list of private scholarships offered from outside organizations and companies. Sometimes a college major will have a list of scholarships, too.

Fourth, the public library has a book listing scholarships with some not even listed on the web.

Finally, recommend joining several free membership scholarship search websites. There are thousands of scholarships out there for many things including ethnicity, religion, hobbies, clubs, and even wearing duct tape to the high school prom. Most are updated on a regular basis. Most offer a customized search based on the information entered into the website.

Good luck!
