Find Scholarships on the Internet - Quality Sites

Tweet

Here are some popular sites to search for scholarships, grants and more.

#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!

Scholarships.com is worth a try!

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!

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.

#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,
