Does anyone know of any scholarship applications for college that haven't passed the deadline yet?

Question

I'm going to be a freshmen in college next year. I need A LOT of scholarships. Unfortunately, I have been too lazy to apply for any scholarships. Is it too late?

Answer 1

It is not too late. However, you did miss a lot of financial aid and scholarship deadlines. However, from my own experience and from what I read, most recommend more than one approach to locate college scholarships. I will list several free sources to 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, the high school guidance office has a list of local scholarships and state scholarships & grants.

Fourth, a campus work study job can help with money needed during the school year. The program is funded by the federal government. It will be a job on campus and most times can work to your availability schedule. There should be a box on the FAFSA form for it.

Fifth, fill out the FAFSA form. It will tap into need based financial aid from the college. It will come in the form of government grant money, student loan, college scholarships, and the campus work study program. It is based on a formula devised by the government to determine your aid. It needs to be filled out yearly. The form becomes available January 1 for the upcoming fall semester or quarter.

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!

If the final due date was Dec 1st, then you should call the admissions office and plead your case before you submit an application. It's possible that Dec 1st was an early decision or priority deadline, and they have another deadline in January or February. If this is really your dream school, and it is too late to apply, find a job for a year, and maybe take some community college classes relevant to the type of art you want to focus on, and apply for the year after.

Answer 3

If you don't want to go surfing on the internet to find scholarships, because that takes a lot of time and effort, reach out to your guidance department at school and they should have many community based organizational scholarships and fraternity/sorority scholarships that you can apply to. Thats what i'm doing now, and college is practically paying for itself.

Answer 4

It's never too late, you can apply for scholarships throughout your college experience. You just have to keep your eye out for them. I would suggest that you sign up on http://www.fastweb.com/ They post various scholarships that have deadlines throughout the year. Also, check your university's or your department's scholarship web page often (most keep such a page) to see what scholarships are available for you to apply for.

Answer 5

Did you at least complete your federal student aid aplication? Try to find out about scholarships from local organizations and university websites. Find out what things you parents belong to - their organization may give scholarships. talk to people who graduated the year before you they may be able to help.
