Some good Scholarship sites...

For those of you who do not read the Nontrad site, I am going to list several of the best free scholarship sites I have there.
#1. The Fatomei pages - the Dr. Torres Database: this site has lots of information, all searchable. It also contains  research grants, minority scholarships, postdoctoral awards, study abroad information and lots more. Here is that link: The Fatomei Pages/Dr. Torres Database pages.

#2.  The FastAid site lets you search for free on their big database.

#3.  The Fresch site is also a great free resource.  You can also check out their free resource pages too.

#4.  The famous Career One Stop pages (used for employment searches) has a little-known Scholarship page too, where they have more than 5,000 scholarships listed.

#5. No list would be complete without the Fastweb pages. They not only have a free scholarship search database, but they have articles too.

You can check out all the links on the Nontrad Scholarships page one and page two. 

I also have written about scholarships at Squidoo with Scholarships Online for Students. There is a good video there about filling out the FAFSA too, made by Fastweb Insider Secrets on YouTube. Just scroll down to see it on the website, or go to the link.

Good scholarship hunting! Until next posting,

Why fill out a FAFSA? Here are tips.

Filling out your FAFSA form

The FAFSA is the free application for Federal student aid. It not only gives you the estimated amount that you will receive when you fill it out, it also sends your application to the school of your choice and also applies you to other scholarships and grants that you qualify for.

Some sites just pretend to be the "real" FAFSA site, and will do your application for you or help you for a price. Never use those if you can help it. The REAL FAFSA site is totally free.

Here is the link to go there:
http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/

Tips to help!
Save your form often: Fill out this form and save it often, so you don't lose any of your information. At the end of the application, you will receive your very own password and PIN number. Keep this information totally private. You will find out what awards and loans you qualify for in a few days or a week after that usually. (Read the page at the end to find out how long you will be waiting.)

Print out the ending page with your personal information on it and keep it in a safe place, marking on your calendar when to check back.


See what YOU qualify for by filling out this form for yourself. And good luck!

Have what you need out when you fill out the FAFSA: (watch this video):
