There is more to every Scholarship, internship, and grant search.

More and more sites are now social. 
A social network - from Clker.com









There is the search first. You find some great sites. What do you do then?

After the crucial search step, you get the site, and maybe keep the link to come back later. That is important to do. You will be able to sign up for the site then, and check for news.

It's also vitally important to be socially connected to these sites to hear about new scholarships and more. If you are not yet connected (except for having their link), try to connect to a Facebook page or to a mailing list.

Also see if the sites have Twitter, LinkedIn, or direct email signups or Facebook pages.

Then check your email and social pages often.

You can get a solid filing system (on or off your computer) going AND a good system for checking your email and links too.

Decide how often you want to check. Make special automatic email folders, or copy information to files or folders on your desktop.

You can also print out hard copies and make a hard copy filing system. It's totally up to you.

Here are a few sites, postings, and ideas for doing just that.

#1. Get Organized - and keep track of your scholarship and grant applications

#2. Treat Looking for Scholarships like a Job

#3. Are you Signed up with Fastweb yet?

#4. Scholarship postings about scholarships and grants (you can run a search today too)

#5. FAFSA deadlines - do you know them?

Thanks for coming by to my blog today. And good luck on your scholarship search.

Welcome to this blog, Nontraditional Students!

I wrote about this blog today on my Nontraditional Student blog

Students on computers. From garryknight on Flickr.















As you probably already know, a nontraditional student is a student who is going back to school after a break.

There are many opportunities today for nontrads to obtain scholarships. Often, "regular" scholarships and sites also have scholarships for nontraditional students available.

Just go to the Search area here and search for the kind of scholarship you want, to see other postings too. (the box is at the right side, near the top.)

And here are some postings to help nontraditional students and others get started on their scholarship search.

Fastweb: This free site is one of the BEST scholarship search sites on the internet.

The Fatomei Site also has some awesome links to free money. Of course, there are scholarships here, but there are also links to internship possibilities, graduate school money, fellowships, and lots more. Scroll down to see these.

And here are the five MOST POPULAR postings here on the site.

Veterinary School Scholarships

Unusual, odd, wacky, and unknown scholarships and sites to explore

35 Scholarships Anyone Can Get - from College Degree.com

Some Interior Design Scholarships (U.S.)

Scholarships, grants, and more links for Native Americans

Good luck on your scholarship search, nontrads and other scholarship seekers!

Some Scholarship blogs, and a link for Eagle Scout Scholarships

I went to search for "scholarship blogs" and found some interesting ones today.

It looks like people can save money for college on the UPromise Blog.

http://www.upromise.com/welcome. This blog is made by Sallie Mae.

Scholarships.com also has a blog here:

Scholarships.com blog

The only thing about this one is you can't sign up for it to get updates. I think they should add that.

The Top Scholarship Blog has some good links on it.

But you need to bookmark it (like the Scholarships.com one) because there is no signup here either.

___________________________

And here is something interesting - it's a link to "Where to find scholarship money for Eagle Scouts." This could be handy.

Good luck on your scholarship search, everyone!
