http://www.fastweb.com
http://www.finaid.com/scholarships...
http://www.scholarships.com
Google:
Use google, Examples:
scholarships + women
scholarships + african american
scholarships + health
And know your school has their own scholarships as well.
i like fastweb.com
they are right, fastweb is a good one. there are government loans & grants and then there are private loans & scholarships. i dont know your details, so i will list all that have found for all of them.
your bound to find something here that you qualify for.
remember, pass on what you are able to find that helps, for it may help someone else with their schooling as well.
-----------------------
try to aim for grants/scholarships more... they are not to be paid back. its confusing sometimes, but just keep applying. Scholarships usually have a 1 or 2 page application, and require an essay. Take your time with the essay, so yours stands out.
every big (and small) company you see (manufacturer, orgs, corps and groups also) all have grants and scholarships they hand out like candy. Walmart, Kmart, Target, Coke, computer companies etc etc etc
heres a link with a HUGE amount of some available. some you will need to copy and paste into a new window. also, fastweb (take the time to fill it in) will search databases and get back to you with a list of scholarships you qualify for.
Also contact all mens, womens associations in your state, they almost always have grants & scholarships. What ever field you are going into, contact the orgs, associations etc for them; Also check with professional organizations related to your career interests, such as the American Bar Association or the American Medical Association. they also always have scholarships. Research and dig, call then write. Its all worth it.
OVER apply; it doesnt hurt to have too many, and the extra funds can help with housing.
