Exploring Music Scholarships online

Tweet

Here are some great links and pages from quality sites for Music Scholarships.

Here is the famous Interlochan Scholarship:

Music Scholarships at Scholarships.com - there are many to choose from here and lots to browse too.

Berklee College of Music Scholarships - I don't know a lot about this school, but they have some funding you can access.

 McNally Smith College of Music scholarship page - ditto.

The University of Utah College of Music scholarship page. They also have scholarships for Marching Band, I notice. This is a fun activity if you have not already tried it. I was in a Marching Band in college and met great friends there.

ASCAP Foundation Awards

Missouri Undergraduate programs

Do Google your area plus "Music Scholarships" and see what you get.

And here are some more sites, tried and true:

Interlochen Summer Programs: Scholarships and Financial Aid
(for High School students, I believe..)

From the website: "Interlochen's financial aid program is intended to help provide outstanding young artists some assistance to further their artistic development. Interlochen is able to provide financial aid to approximately 25% of its campers. No family should be discouraged from applying to Interlochen Arts Camp because of lack of funds. We welcome a broad cross section of families who believe in their children and in their ability to succeed."

And here is more: Interlochen Arts Academy

Boston University - financial aid for Graduate Students

And be sure to register at Fastweb. They can hook you up with scholarships and even send you notices about them. Here is their Music Page: http://colleges.fastweb.com/m-music.

Don't forget to fill our your FAFSA form too. They may have scholarships and grants you have not seen yet.

Here are a couple of other articles you may like:

#1. Scholarships.com - - not just a good website name, this site has lots to offer.

#2. Fastweb - a quality site I've written about before. Worth a look.

#3. My Nontrads Scholarship pages:
Scholarships Links and Tips Page One and
Scholarships Links and Tips Page Two

#4. The Dr. Torres site (Fatomei) - check here for MANY scholarships you won't find anywhere else.

And for sure, check out some Big Scholarship and Grant Sites, the BIG list of Nursing Scholarships, Art scholarships, and the OEdB site too.

Also, search for the KIND of scholarship you are looking for at the left, in the Search Box. I hope you find these postings and sites helpful.

And good luck in your scholarship search!

Have a VACATION from doing scholarship searches...

Tweet

I say, take a break right now.

It's the holiday season, after all. But keep organized anyhow.

Unless you have some Scholarship deadlines, that is.

Just an FYI, if you are serious about attending school, online or in person, it can be a great idea to look around for scholarships or grants.
 
I have some good links here, and also a video of how to fill out your FAFSA form.

My Scholarships Links and Tips Page One

My Scholarships Links and Tips Page Two

There are two other very good sites to check out, if you are in the mood.

They are:

Fastweb and

The Fatomei Links pages (scroll down for actual links)

Good luck in your scholarship search!

Get a Scholarship for college using a FREE scholarship search page - - plus other tips.

I have recommended FastWeb before. Also, there are other quality search sites.

Some send results to you after you fill out a form there on the site.

Others just have great links you can use. On this blog site, you can put a search term in and search all the past postings for different kinds of scholarships.

On the Fatomei site, you can scroll down and find internships, grants for research, and lots more, all there on the site. These links are not your run-of-the-mill ones either. He has collected LOTS and LOTS of great research here.

And on the Nontrads pages, I have two Scholarship Pages to look through, with some great links.
( Scholarships Links Page One and Scholarships Links Page Two).

Of course (as I say on Scholarships Links Page Two)  it pays to always check the official FAFSA page first. You never know what great scholarships, grants, or other opportunities are available nationwide or in your area. The FAFSA helps you locate these, along with your college advising office.

Do NOT pay to apply for scholarships, or to join a Scholarship Page if you can help it. There are plenty of free ones out there to help you.

Clear as mud? Good luck on YOUR scholarship application.

Fastweb and Monster have joined forces. Also: here is the FAFSA deadline link.

Tweet

Sometimes I am very tempted to register on Fastweb.

Here is their new signup page that combines with Monster, which is a great job-finding service.

The Fastweb and Monster Sign-up Page

Just register here, and Fastweb/Monster will let you know what scholarships match up for you.

I think if I did not have about ten projects going right now, I might sign up. For everyone who is going to school, or thinking about it, this service is FREE and easy to do.

Plus it is very individualized. Also, filling out your FAFSA is also a good idea if you are thinking about school in your future.

Good luck, everyone!

Also FAFSA deadlines are here: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/deadlines.htm.

My Top Ten list of College Scholarship and Grant Sites

Tweet

I like to talk about my favorite scholarship search sites. This is my first Top Ten list.

 My Top Ten List

of Scholarship and Grant Sites

#1. The official FAFSA page at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/. This page is a must for people who want to see what loans or grants they can get via the U.S. government.

#2. The FastWeb site at http://www.fastweb.com/. This site is now celebrating its 15th anniversary. It is a free site, with many different scholarships listed. You register there and FastWeb matches you up with the scholarships that most fit your profile.

#3. The Scholarships.com site  at http://www.scholarships.com/. This site has been recommended on many other websites as being a quality site with many links and resources. 

#4. College Scholarships and Online Degrees and Scholarships - - these two websites are owned by the same people. If you link to them on your page, they will help you learn about how to promote your site. They also have great information and link pages on their sites, plus even more specialized websites too.

#5. The FastAid site at http://www.fastaid.com/ Their link here explains how the FAFSA works, and also give tips to international students and has 10 questions you can ask your Financial Aid Administrator.

#6. Fresch at http://www.freschinfo.com/index.php Fresch has a big database of over 450,000 awards, plus many other information pages for scholarship hunters.

#7. The Grants Site at http://www.grants.gov. This site has a huge number of grants, a special resource page, and more. From the website, "Today, Grants.gov is a central storehouse for information on over 1,000 grant programs and provides access to approximately $500 billion in annual awards."

#8. The College Board Pay for College Page at http://www.collegeboard.com/student/pay/index.html. This page answers many questions - - such as How Financial Aid Works, and Top Questions for the Aid Office. It is a free site too.

#9. The Mapping Your Future Resource Page at http://mappingyourfuture.org/paying/scholarshipresources.htm. This page contains 16 links to great scholarship resources. They already have FastWeb listed too.

#10. Last I list my two resource pages on the Nontraditional Student website, which feature more scholarship and grant links too. These pages are here:
The Scholarship Links Page One at http://www.nontradstudents.com/scholarships.html, and The Scholarship Links Page Two at http://www.nontradstudents.com/scholarships_page2.html. You will also see advice here on how best to fund your education.

I hope you find this list useful. Please let me know what scholarship and grant sites you like too - and your successes if you use this list. Good luck!

All for now,
