Question

Hello im a graduating Senior and will be attending FAMU and majoring in buisness Does anyone know of websites or General Scholarship information all help is needed i really need the funds to attend college. Thanx to all for your time

Answer 1

You need to start searching today for college scholarships. Application deadlines are happening soon for most college scholarships since it is early April. However, there are some scholarships out there. I will list some free resources to locate them.

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 because it is the way to apply for government grants. However, the government grants are need based. It takes into consideration your income and savings along with your parents' income and savings unless you are an independent student under current regulations. The form becomes available on January 1 for the upcoming fall semester or quarter.

Fourth, your high school's guidance office will have a list of local scholarships and state scholarship programs.

Finally, I recommend joining several free membership scholarship search websites, but the best I have located is Scholarship Experts since they have a very thorough and lengthy survey to complete compared to Fastweb. 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!

First, check out the university to see if they offer any scholarships. Then you can register (it's free) in FastWEB, or Scholarship Experts. They give you a number of scholarships that you can apply to depending on what you're studying and what year you're in.
