Find Scholarships and Blogs 2014 - the best links for #FREE #scholarships and #grants

Scholarships and Grants for 2014 - my favorite listings and sites

Yes, you will find some new #scholarships and #grants for GED's, College, Universities, and Technical Schools, plus graduate student grants and fellowships this year. I will be sharing them as I find them. There are also some tried and true sites and helpful links that I love to share regularly on this blog.

Regular readers will recognize these. Are you actively looking on these sites? It's good if you are.

Here they are:

The OFFICIAL FAFSA site (check here first if you are wanting to go to college or grad school)

The Fatomei/Dr. Torres site (especially helpful for unusual and/or other resources such as graduate school scholarships, internships, and more, plus scholarships and grants) - their description of the site: "Highly competitive and prestigious undergraduate college scholarships, graduate fellowships, education grants, summer jobs & research internships, awards for high school seniors & students, women, minorities, Hispanics, African Americans, nurses, engineers, teachers studying math, science & engineering and health professions from national & international foundations. Free financial aid, student loans, prizes, stipends."

The Fastweb site: sign up here and get your personalized emails about the #scholarships YOU want to find out about.

Add a few more free #scholarship and #grant websites from the Nontraditional Student site 
(Page one ( How to apply and more...)  and Page two (More about the FAFSA and more...) and you are ready to go.

And it doesn't hurt to go to your local Employment office and ask about what might be available for you in terms of work training. You never know!

Just saying.

Here is a bit about me: I am a former Nontraditional Student and Grant "Winner" who never did apply for #scholarships (YET), but who decided to share and research them just in case she wanted to later. 

I love to blog, so added this to my other pages. I hope they are helpful.

Post here if you have some other sites YOU like too.

How to get a scholarship - by other people and by me, plus Judge Josh Barsch

Hi, scholarship seekers.

There seem to be a million pages online telling you HOW to get a scholarship. I have read a lot of these. Some are really great. Some are not so great.

Most how-to-get-a-scholarship pages online usually just tell you what every person who has a little common sense knows, like:

1. Apply. (Truly more than a no-brainer...)

2. Take your time with each application and carve out time to do many of them. (i.e., be thoughtful and use spell checker or a friend to go over your application.)

3. Go to these sites... (recommended sites follow...) (and sometimes these are very self-serving... or do not include regular schools, only ones that have paid a fee, or only online ones.)

4. Watch your spelling and punctuation. (Really this is #2)

5. Get some books on the subject and read them. (Which I guess could be helpful...)

6. Don't give up. (a la Winston Churchill)

7. Stay motivated. (See #6 which this is really a repeat of)

8. Etc. etc. etc... (mostly stuff you already know).

I have run across some pages like this. Don't waste your time reading any scholarship type article that does not have some links at the bottom.

Better yet, it is good if that site can show some research or even footnotes. There is nothing wrong with an inspirational or imaginative posting, but if the whole site is like that, move on with your internet searching.

To wind up, anyone can pontificate about what you need to do. What scholarship seekers REALLY need is a list of GREAT and up to date resources, blog sites, and information so they can learn for themselves and get cracking at applying or learning where to apply for scholarships.

I have found one really good site lately I want to share with you now. It is a blog that I signed up for. It is called "Judge Josh" Barsch. He has his own scholarship he gives out. He also writes intelligent and interesting articles.

Here is his contact information (from his blog).

"Judge Josh" Barsch









"Like" his stuff on Facebook (his FB page)

Follow him on Twitter (his Twitter page)

Stalk him on Foursquare (his 4Square)

I think you will like his postings.

The Perfect Scholarship

 Scholarship Dreaming













My dream: getting a full ride scholarship and taking any classes I want to.








The scholarship would last for as many years as I want, and also pay for lunches, Spring and Fall break travel, books and supplies (including all my art supplies).







This scholarship would increase every year to cover any rises in materials cost or tuition.

Pie in the Sky! But it sure sounds great.










Does anyone out there know of a Scholarship like this? I think it's called Winning the Lottery but I'm not sure.













I will keep my fingers crossed!





Here is where you can find good and free scholarship links:
