I'm looking to get a scholarship for college. I have a 3.5 G.P.A, over 130 hours of community service, and a honors diploma. Where can I get scholarships? I'm interested in several colleges, such as Ohio State, Portland State, Chicago University, University of Oregon, Arizona State, University of Arizona, and Penn State. Is there a way I can get the college application reduced or free?

I once read that the best approach to locating a college scholarship is utilizing several different approaches. I recommend a dual approach in searching in your local community and on the web. Apply for as many scholarships that you qualify for consideration. Unfortunately, I do not know of any ways to reduce the college application fees unless you check with the college itself or your high school guidance counselor. I will include several free approaches to locate scholarship money.

First, complete the FAFSA form because it will qualify you for need based government grants, need based scholarships from the college itself, the federal work study program, and subsidized student loans. It is based on a percentage formula of your parents' income and savings along with your income and savings (counts at a higher rate than your parents' income), and it takes into consideration your family size along with how many family members are in college. This needs to be completed every year until you graduate from college. I recommend completing it in January or early February to receive the most need based scholarships. However, do complete it well before the financial aid deadline for the school itself.

Second, a high school student can locate local scholarships and state scholarships at their high school guidance office. The best chance to receive a scholarship is a local one.

Third, the local public library has a book listing college scholarships with some not even listed on the web.

Finally, join several free membership scholarship search websites. You enter a profile based on your life, and it will search scholarships in its database for scholarships matching it. There is a college scholarship for just about anything out there including wearing duct tape to the high school prom.

Good luck!

If you receive free or reduced lunch, see your counselor for a waiver paper. There are sooooo many places for scholarships: fastweb.com, the school itself, community scholarships, etc. Research by internet for (your city) scholarships. Your counselors receive scholarships almost daily. Make yourself at home in the counseling office once a week all year.
Some really big scholarships from the colleges themselves have deadlines as early as December 1. Get on their website and look up their scholarships.
Good luck.
