Looking for scholarships for my three college bound high school boys, where do you look?
Question:
As well as foriegn language, debate and speech teams.
Answer:
try the college that they are attending, they will more than likely have scholarships to apply for...that would be your best bet. also if they are still in high school, try gettin a couple thru the school... i got one myself when i graduated.
Certainly not here!
There are no more free-bies. Take out a loan and be in debt like the rest of us.
Here are a few sites I found.

Also you can type in the type of scholarship desired, and see what comes up: i.e., athletic, music, foreign language.
And do not forget to check with their high school counselors. They may have info/contacts (couches, music teachers, etc.) too. Best wishes.

go to the library, there is a huge book that must stay in the library, but you can do copies of pages, there are tons of scholarships and some are only like 200 bucks each so you apply for as many as you can possibly fit into the category for, also at the school the advisor should halep with that. but go for it, as many as you can find.
Try http://www.fastweb.com . Also they should check in with their high-school councelors or career centers to find ones that are specific to their school. Finally, make sure you fill out the FAFSA and the college's financial aid application. Most people get most of their scholarship money from the school itself. When you apply to the school they will automatically send you all of this kind of information. If you're really worried, set up an appointment with a financial aid counselor at the college. Also, the college website will have some good information.
If they already have colleges picked out the Financial Aid Department can offer help in finding scholarships. They have access to both school based and private scholarships. I received a very large private scholarship and didn't have to do anything for it because the university did the work.
Also have them talk to their guidance counselors, who should be able either find scholarships or point them in the right direction.
But the biggest thing is to keep grades up and to prepare well for the SAT/ACT because that will put them in the running for lots of great scholarships.
