Answer 1

You have selected a great time to start searching for scholarships since you will be entering your senior year. There are many options to seek out scholarships for free and are not scams. I recommend using more than one approach to locate college scholarship money, and I recommend applying for any scholarship you qualify no matter what because it does add up in tuition money. I will list some of the free sources out there.

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. This can be done in the senior year.

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 after January 1 of his senior year of high school. I recommend applying no later than mid February. It will qualify her for need based financial aid from the federal government and the school itself. It will come in the form of scholarships, Pell Grant, student loans, and the work study program. It does not matter if he was accepted or not. All it matters is that he list the schools he applied to for consideration.

Sixth, study and practice for the SAT or ACT tests. It can help bring merit scholarships from the college itself. Prepare for the PSAT which could bring in scholarship money with excellent scores. I recommend using test preparation book, software, or a test preparation course.

Seventh, states do offer grant and scholarships for students with excellent grades. Search Google.com and Yahoo.com for these grants and scholarships with your state's name.

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!

You should get a membership on FreeWeb. It's free and it lets you know of most of the scholarships available to you (according to your age, region, etc). I have an account and it's really very helpful.

The membership is free. Just go to www.fastweb.com and sign up! You will be aware of essay contests, quizzes, challenges and various other scholarship competitions.

Good luck!
