Does anyone know if a scholarship exsists for children of coal miners?

Question

I'm trying to find this scholarship for children of coal miners, i know it exists but i cant find it anywhere... It is for in the appalichain Mountains

Answer 1

If it exists... it will most likely be listed under www.fastweb.com

You'll just have to fill out the questioner when you open a new account and it will constantly update all those available that apply.

Answer 2

I could not locate it, but I know a number of sources that are excellent for locating any scholarships. However, I included one free membership scholarship search website with a very thorough questionaire form on its website. All are free sources to locate money for college.

First, fill out the FAFSA form which will tap into need based financial aid from the state and federal governments along with the college itself. It provides scholarships, student l/ans, and grants. This is to be completed each year after January 1 for the fall semester and will cover the entire school year.

Second, the college's financial aid office and website has a list of private scholarships offered from outsidekorganizations and companies. Sometimes a college major's website will list scholarships, too.

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

Fourth, high school seniors can locate local scholarships at the high school guidance office.

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

Good luck!

Answer 3

yup, they were both good answers. Fastweb isnt commercial, its free. all you do is fill out the questions and submit it. then they email you with what they have found on their database(s) that you would qualify for.

the other links from the second post are great too.

i dont know if your looking for more scholarships or not, so i'll just post what i have. spread the word too. you guys have to tell eachother what you find out there to help each other.

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 4

I'm sure they exist. You should contact the companies that manage the coal mines. Usually companies have their own scholarships.

If you are unable to find such scholarships, you can always try scholarship drawings. They are free and are no obligation. It's worth a shot by applying.

Answer 5

Don't go to any of the websites that are commercial! They usually charge you a fee and a lot of them are phony.

Here is a government site:
http://www.grants.gov/applicants/federal_grants.jsp

Also, check with your local library for a reference book called: The College Blue Book, it lists thousands & thousands of grants & scholarships offered by various groups...if you find some you want to apply for just make a photocopy of that page.

Answer 6

I'm curious too

Answer 7
