Grants and Work Study, plus Jobs on Campus

Be Your Own Detective...

Check your school for grants, work-study, and jobs.

At Western, (WKU, in Kentucky) there are several food companies attached to the school. Western also offers work-study programs, which are different depending on the department. Some look almost fun, in that you get to help professors be organized or do filing.

I know that getting a job at a campus-located company may not be like a scholarship (which is like free money really...) but it does help with day to day expenses, PLUS it is close to classes sometimes.

Grants? Your school may keep a list of them, and they may each have different application deadlines and requirements. Your school might offer these - - to people that ASK about them.

So, just ask. Your school advising department may have a program just for you.

Just a few thoughts today for all my scholarship and grant-seeking friends!

Taking the time to fill out scholarship or grant forms...

Make a New Beginning - Fill out Some Scholarship or Grant Forms

I know I have often told myself that I would go back again to school IF I got a grant or scholarship. But I have not been diligent filling out the forms.

There always seems to be something more important to do.

With the beginning of the New Year, I will remind others out there who are perhaps reading this blog: go ahead and fill out those scholarship forms! There are many free websites out there that make it easy for you to keep ahead of deadlines.

So... who knows? There is still money out there for scholarships and grants. But it's up to the scholarship and grant seekers to take that first step. You never know - you could win a scholarship or grant and it could change your life.

Scholarships.com is worth a try!

Tweet

Try it - - - you might like it!

Hi, all!

I went to Scholarships.com today and found a good article there. It is called Non-Academic College Scholarships - Scholarships Aren't Just for "A Students" Anymore.

I was intrigued by the title. Then I read the rest. I liked the good information I found there. I found out that the site awards its own scholarships. Here is one of them (from the site):


"...the Scholarships.com Resolve To Evolve Scholarship doesn’t have any GPA, SAT or ACT requirements and you could win up to $3,000 with your scholarship essay" 

That sounds worth looking into, I think. I used to think that Scholarships.com must have an easy road to getting web traffic, just because of their name - - that they probably didn't need to do much real work on the site. But I was wrong. There are some good articles here, PLUS a chance to win their scholarships and others.

 The site meets my criteria too - it is totally free.

So, give it a try. Here is the web address: http://www.scholarships.com.

And here is the address of the article again: Non-Academic College Scholarships. After you register there, let me know how it goes - for instance, is it easy to sign up? What kind of email do you receive after that? I would love to know and let my readers know more about the site. But it definitely looks worth a try.

Later!

Great Scholarship and Grant site of the day

(Happy Halloween!)

Today I am listing the Dr. Torres Site, also known as the Fatomei Site.

The announcement on the Index page of this site says "Nationally Coveted College Scholarships and Graduate Fellowships."

This site lists MANY scholarships, fellowships, and grants. The first ones listed are the Category Links. Included here are Foundation Scholarships, scholarships for Native Americans, African Americans, Teachers, Internships, Engineers, Medical, Nursing, Biology, College AND Graduate School, and many more.

Be sure to scroll down the first 3 columns here to get to the Dr. Torres links. These links were just updated on 10-25-09.

After their category links, there are single links, describing many scholarships by name or founation. These include the Morris Udall Foundation, the U.S. Departent of Defense, the U.S. Department of Energy, and even the White House.

I think that this site is definitely worth a look. Let me know what you think of it, and whether these sites yield up a scholarship or grant, too. It would be great to know I helped with this posting.

Later!

Two sites for shaking the scholarship and grant money tree

Tweet

A money tree... Everyone wants one.

And today, money trees are NOT around every corner. But there is a way to get money if you want scholarships and grants. The trick is to find these scholarships and grants without having to pay money for the privilege.

Hi, everyone! This is my very first posting here. I am very glad you are here.

Why I am starting this blog

The reason I am starting this blog is because I personally want to research and find scholarships and grants. Plus, I know with the economy right now, students of all kinds need all the help they can get! I think a good idea would be to see if I can go back to school and not wind up with another student loan to pay.

I am going to list a few REALLY GOOD websites to get this blog going, and point people in a good direction to get some GREAT scholarships and grants to help them go to school, whether it is going to high school, to get a GED, or going to college, university, graduate school or trade school.

The Nontraditional Student site
and Scholarship Page

I have a website for nontraditional students, and a Scholarship Page there. I will be adding to it as I learn about even more scholarship and grant sites. In case you didn't already know, a nontraditional student is a student who is going back to school after a break, or who is not the "standard" student who goes to school right after high school, and has no more than a part-time job. Often, these students have family responsibilities too. They are a growing component of students in many different kinds of schools.

Here is the link: Scholarships Page One. I think you will really like it. I have a link to the official FAFSA site (great to do first...), Dr. Torres' Database of Scholarships, Grants, the Fresch site, the Financial Aid Podcast, and more. These sites listed here are all free of charge to join and find scholarships and grants with. I will be writing about all of these links in future postings.

The Fastweb site

Another terrific site for scholarships is Fastweb. It offers information about high school through college scholarships. A blurb on their page says, "1 in 8 Applicants Win Scholarships!" I think this is a very good percentage. They also have a "Jobs and Internships" section. Everyone knows that having an internship or volunteering can often help people with their resumes or even help them get a job down the road sometimes. So this is a great addition to their site.

I hope you really like these sites. Come back to learn about more sites and even NEW scholarships and grants here on the Find Scholarships and Grants blog.

I am very glad you came here! Please let me know what you would like to see on this blog, and what research I can do to help you find scholarships and grants. Thank you!
