laptop scholarships out there?

Question

I am a grade twelve student that is is need of a new lightwieght laptop for my university career, any ideasm or sites? Thanx

Answer 1

yeah, over apply for anything you qualify for. when all schooling is paid, books paid for, you get the balance, thus what you need; a laptop.

its used for schooling...

----------

try to aim for grants/scholarships more... they are not to be paid back. its confusing sometimes, but just keep applying. Scholarships usually have a 1 or 2 page application, and require an essay. Take your time with the essay, so yours stands out.

every big (and small) company you see (manufacturer, orgs, corps and groups also) all have grants and scholarships they hand out like candy. Walmart, Kmart, Target, Coke, computer companies etc etc etc

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.

Answer 2

Laptop Scholarships

Answer 3

There are not scholarships for laptops. In all honesty, it is not necessary in the least. In two years of being a full-time student, I have never, never, never needed my laptop even for my programming and computer classes. Schools have computers available to students all over the place. Look on craigslist: you can find used laptops and computers for cheap. Have a friend that is computer savvy? Have them upgrade the one you have: you can pretty much make it brand new for around $250 if you shop right (new motherboard, processor, RAM, hard drive). A brand new pre-built one that runs programs necessary for school will cost you around $300+.
