Going back to school?

Applying for scholarships?

The way I figure it, if you are wanting to go back to school, and have either decided to or not, you can take a chance and apply for at least one scholarship. Maybe lots and lots more.

I have read about people spending their entire summer (much of it anyway) applying for lots and lots of them. They need to be VERY organized and keep many files full of copies of their applications so they don't apply twice or something.

I think just some encouragement can help people who need money for school. You can search Twitter to find new scholarships, use the Fastweb site, (it's free), and also search on the 'net for what you think you are interested in finding scholarships for.

And everyone will tell you to fill out your (U.S.) FAFSA form (at the official site, of course - NEVER pay to fill this out) to find out if you qualify for local scholarships or grants.

Are you going back to school after a break?

PS Use the Search feature here on this site to help you find more scholarship sites and links. Good luck in your scholarship search.

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

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!

Two Great Sites to Check, and some Scholarship Seeking Advice.

This week, check out these two great sites and blogs for your scholarship search. If you have already done your FAFSA, be sure to check your Fastweb recommendations.

#1: Fastweb. So many people recommend this site. Why? It is fast, and free. Just register here, and Fastweb can help you find scholarships. It's easy. Here is the site: http://www.fastweb.com/.

#2. FAFSA. This is the OFFICIAL government FAFSA page. It is also free. Don't click anywhere else to do your FAFSA.

Also, make sure you review all the deadlines for the scholarships you have already filled out or are waiting to fill out.

Organize all your applications.

Visit nearby colleges and schools and talk to an Advisor to find out if any NEW grants or scholarships have become available for the subject you want to study.

And don't give up hope. Even if it seems like an impossible quest, there ARE scholarships out there to be had. It's the people that keep on looking that are successful. They apply for a great many scholarships, in order to get one or two or even more.

Be that squeaky wheel. Keep on keeping on. And I hope you get the scholarship you want.

Have you been successful in finding a scholarship? Share your story as a comment. Thanks!

More good and researched Scholarship sites

Tweet

 It's nice to find some more researched scholarship sites to add to my list.

A 2008 Yahoo Voices article by Shannon Lausch lists some familiar sites (Fastweb) along with some not-so-familiar ones, such as College Net and College Data.

She even lists their BBB (Better Business Bureau) statuses, which I found helpful. This article also helps you rate other websites and find out if they are legitimate, or just scam-type sites.

You can check out the article here: How to Find Great College Scholarship Web Sites - Yahoo Voices.

Good luck in your scholarship search!
