What is one of the most difficult tasks and biggest concerns when
planning for college? Added expenses. That's right -- money! And,
what is the one dream every high school junior or senior has? Getting
a scholarship that'll satisfy all financial bills.
Even though college scholarships come in many
sizes and in hundreds of different categories, finding the right
ones require as much "insider" know-how as picking the right numbers
for the lottery. "Is this really hard?" you ask. Not for you! That's
because you've decided to read our recommended list of 'must-see
scholarship sites.'
FastWeb.com offers a listing of over
600,000 scholarships based on location, age, school year, and heritage.
To find ones suited for you, simply complete a list of questions
online about your student information, academic background, plans,
and extra curricular activities. Within minutes, FastWeb's database
pops up a list of awards for you to research further.
FreSchInfo.com gives lots of savvy information.
You'll get tips on applying for scholarships, deadline dates, internship
opportunities, and much more! You'll also find listings of scholarship
money classified by part/full-time attendance, disabilities, ancestry,
religion, areas of study, fraternities and sororities, and employment.
You can even enter contests, play games, and receive free stuff.
Students.gov gives you a long list of
options to fund your education. Click onto Scholar$earch to quickly
find scholarship opportunities (although you'll have to select a
few general preferences once there). You can even limit your search
to specific organizations, areas of study, and minority groups.
Scholarships.com is an all-in-one scholarship
search and financial aid resource. Not only can you find awards,
but you can also learn how to protect yourself from scholarship
scams and become informed about your rights and responsibilities
as a loan borrower, should your college expenses exceed your scholarship
funds. Plus, don't miss its glossary of financial aid terms and
a cyber-calculator that'll help you juggle numbers and shorten payments.
CollegeBoard.com provides information
on scholarships, internships, loans, and other financial aid programs
that match your educational level, talents, and backgrounds.
Who says scholarship searching has to be a
painful, time-consuming process? After
surfing these scholarship sites, you'll definitely have a clearer
college cash outlook. Happy hunting!
