good, for-real scholarships?

Question

okay, i am going to be attending a private college next semester

that is, if i can afford it. I am signed up with fastweb and scholarships.com and collegeboard, but I haven't found many scholarships that are need-based

any good sites or sources for good, legit scholarships?

also, i applied for a PIN to fill out the FAFSA yesterday, I still haven't recieved my PIN

i reapplied and they said i've already been issued one, but then when i try to get them to send my pin they say i'm not in the system

Answer 1

Most scholarship search websites do not contain many need based scholarships, but most focus on essay type scholarships. Scholarship Experts is an excellent source for scholarships, and this has come from someone who has used both Fastweb and Scholarship Experts. Scholarship Experts' survey is longer and more detailed than Fastweb. It includes questions not even touched by Fastweb. In regards to your FAFSA pin number, it should be arriving in the next few days. I recommend filing it out in January or early February next year to get the most help without loans. Good luck!
