From what I have read from a number of sources and from my own personal experience, I recommend using a number of free sources to locate scholarship money. Sometimes a scholarship might be listed with one source but not another source. I will list several free methods to locate scholarship 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 if you have not done so yet. It will tap into need based government grants along with scholarship money from the college. The form becomes available on January 1 for the upcoming fall semester or quarter. It is free to fill out. However, they have a form if you have decided on which college to attend that could help you qualify for more money from the college and is in the form of a worksheet.
Fourth, get involved with the federal work study program on campus. It will provide both valuable work experience and additional funds for college.
Fifth, if she is a high school senior, the guidance office has a list of local scholarships.
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!
