scholarships?

Question

Answer 1

Yes, there are places where people could apply for scholarships. I recommend using several different approaches to locate scholarships. I also recommend applying for any scholarship no matter the amount. I will list some resources to find college tuition money.

First, complete the FAFSA after January 1 of their senior year and before the earliest financial aid deadline. It will qualify them for need based help from the college. Even if you think your family makes too much money, you should still complete the form. It will qualify them for need based scholarships from the college endowment fund, Pell Grant (if the EFC is below 4300), work study, and student loans. The form needs to be completed every year until they graduate from college.

Second, the high school guidance office has a list of local scholarships. These are typically the easiest to get.

Third, use Google.com and Yahoo.com to search for scholarships and grants from the state itself. A number of states have scholarships based on grades. Most have grants based on financial need.

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

Finally, join several different free membership scholarship search websites. You enter a profile with them, and it will search for scholarships matching their profile. There is a scholarship for almost anything including wearing duct tape to the prom.

Good luck!
