trying to find out info on native american scholorships?

Question

my greatgrandmother was a cherokee indian and I am wanting to find out any information on applying for grants and or scholorships that may be of assistance to my education.

Answer 1

There are many grants and scholarships out there from a variety of sources. The government grants can come from the state and federal government. Scholarships can come from the college itself, foundation, scholarship fund, or a local community organization. I have listed some free sources that should help locate money for college.

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

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

Third, fill out the FAFSA form. It will help tap into federal and state need based financial aid along with scholarship money from the college itself. It is based on the parents' income and savings along with your income and savings. The form becomes available on January 1 for the upcoming fall semester or quarter. It needs to be renewed each year until college graduation. This should be filled out in her senior year.

Fourth, current high school students can locate local scholarship information 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!
