How can I find out about scholarships or grants I might be eligible for?

There are numerous scholarships and grants available to the college students who are willing to do the research and take the time to find and apply for them. And unlike student loans, scholarships do not have to be repaid! To follow are a few helpful Web sites that can help you search for available scholarships:
 
At this site, you can not only “find money for college,” but you can learn how to apply and read testimonials from students who have received scholarships in the past.
 
By visiting finaid.org, you can complete a questionnaire via fastweb and find several scholarship opportunities available to you.
 
By searching this site, you can learn about available opportunities with grants, scholarships, loan repayment programs, students loan options and tax breaks.
 
Research a library of scholarships, grants, student loans and more.
 
These are just a few of the scholarship search sites available to you. By typing “college scholarships” into your favorite search engine, you’re likely to find many more that you can peruse for additional options. And by reviewing each of these sites and more, you can also understand the steps you need to take to apply for each scholarship, as all entry forms and instructions are unique.
 
There are also many other scholarship resources that might be available to you such as via family employers or community groups in your area. It just takes a little time to do the research, but with rising college expenses, any financial aid can help and is worth the effort!
