I can't a scholarship that suits me!?
Question:
Please help because I already started school and I can't afford to pay for my books!
I looked up scholarships but it's showing me for different college... and scholarships nothing to do with what I've been involved in.
Answer:
dont forget to try FASTWEB too.
try to aim for grants/scholarships more... they are not to be paid back. its confusing sometimes, but just keep applying.
every big (and small) company you see (manufacturer, orgs, corps and groups also) all have grants and scholarships they hand out like candy. contact all asian groups, orgs, assoc, committees, locally, state and nationally. almost all of them have scholarship money. if you cant find any in your state, contact your Public Advocate in your state, they should have a list of all orgs.
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.

I'm kind of having the same problem...
Try going through www.fastweb.com . I have to check back every so often because there aren't always scholarships I'm eligible for or scholarships that fit my strengths.
There are plenty scholarships for Asian American students. http://www.abetterchance.org/referralorg...

go to your school's financial office and asked if there are scholarships that you could quality for.
