How to find #scholarships in this blog, and elsewhere: 4 great scholarship link pages.

Tweet

Hello!

Today I will share some popular BIG scholarship lists here.

#1 (really for me to see again)
 My Big List of Art Scholarships

#2: Science Scholarship links

#3: Scholarship links for Science Fiction fans

#4: Music Scholarship Links

Well... YOU get the idea.

Just put "_____ Scholarship" in the Freefind Site Search box at the top left at the Find Scholarships and Grants blog, then you will see what I have found so far.

Also, some of the places that list certain "Subject Scholarships" often have many more at their site.

Don't be afraid to search yourself too.

If you find something GREAT, another link I should add, or actually land a #scholarship too, leave a comment so we can congratulate you too.

Thank you for visiting my blog today!

Another great site to find out about scholarships - About.com

Tweet

I have signed up for a few different About.com newsletters. You can sign up for these at many of the pages.

Money for school: we like it!

About.com does not make you click incessantly to go to a new photo or anything; their links are on their articles.

Yes, they do have ads on their pages, but I don't mind it. AND each page has other links on it that may be of great interest to my readers.

Here are a few of their pages and articles you might like:

College Apps

U.S. Government Assistance and Grants

Business Majors: free money for college

International Students

AND there are more. Enjoy!

When you are done exploring there, here are my Nontrads Scholarship pages:

FAFSA - - a route to a scholarship and more, plus more .gov sites

Tweet

 




For new readers: did you now that the official FAFSA form also is a source for local and national Scholarships and Grants?

You must go to the official website. Don't be fooled by other sites that insist you PAY for FAFSA information.  Filling out your FAFSA is totally FREE.

Here is that link: https://fafsa.ed.gov/

A clue that this is the REAL, free site is the .gov on the end, showing it is a U.S. Government site.

Some other sites and pages on the FAFSA site for college students that are .gov sites are:

Student Aid Deadlines (check your state in the drop-down menu)  https://fafsa.ed.gov/deadlines.htm

The PIN page (you use this to get into the site) https://pin.ed.gov/PINWebApp/pinindex.jsp

The Federal Student Aid Page - this page includes important Q's and A's like: How do I manage my loans?, How do I apply for Aid?, etc. https://studentaid.ed.gov/

Glorious Weather? Mowing, and Spring Break.

Tweet

Spring is a wonderful season.
For many, including me, it's time to get out and exercise by doing things like mowing and gardening (which WILL feel better in the future, I keep telling myself!)

It may take longer to recoup after getting more active, but I think it's worth it.

For many students, it's all about getting outdoors more this time of year too. Some are going on a Spring Break trip away from school for awhile. Many are thinking about going back to school next year. And still others are thinking about taking a class or two during Summer School.

I think that there is something about Spring that brings hope to the soul. In the Spring, somehow all things seem possible.

I hope school is going well, students. Students and non-students, or student wannabes, who would like to pick my brain about scholarships, feel free to Check my Nontrads Scholarship pages:

Have a GREAT Thanksgiving holiday. Some things to read in your spare time...

Tweet

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, scholarship and grant seekers.

While you are resting from all the Thanksgiving food this holiday perhaps, or are getting ready for another holiday, here are some links to look over, and some interesting sites too.

Federal Student Aid: Grants and Scholarships: I notice a couple of new ones here, TEACH grants and also Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grants.

Scholarships.com talks about alternative holiday suggestions - - for people NOT going home for Thanksgiving. (Watch out for the ad that pops up here, just scroll up and "x" it out.)

They also have an article here about Making Thanksgiving Dinner in Your Dorm. Interesting.

I hope you have a good and productive week.

New - From the U.S. Dept. of State Department Blog - Scholarships for High School Students

Tweet

Here is a new posting I just got today.

It is 2014 Scholarships for American High School Students to Study Abroad.

Interested? Or know somebody who is? Here is that information, from the U.S. Department of State.

"2014 Scholarships for American High School Students to Study Abroad

Media Note

<...>

---

The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs sponsors many programs that are now accepting applications for scholarships that provide American high school students the opportunity to study abroad. These exchange programs prepare American young people to live, work, and succeed in a global economy, as well as connect with other future leaders around the world.

Opportunities include:

The Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study (YES) Abroad Program offers scholarships to American high school students to spend an academic year living with host families and attending school in countries that may include Bosnia & Herzegovina, Egypt, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mali (semester), Morocco, Oman, South Africa, Thailand, Tunisia, and Turkey. This post-9/11 program focuses on increasing understanding between people in the United States and countries with significant Muslim populations. Visit www.yes-abroad.org to apply. The application deadline is January 9, 2014.

The Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange Program (CBYX) was established in 1983 to celebrate German-American friendship based on common values of democracy. Secondary school students, ages 15–18, live with host families, attend local schools, and participate in community life in Germany. Young professionals (undergraduates) and high school graduates of vocational studies, ages 18–24, study and participate in practical training. For more information and application deadlines, visit the organization in charge of recruitment for your state at http://www.usagermanyscholarship.org/"

<more available from this article...> You can read the rest of the posting here at the page for even more opportunities:

Winning a scholarship - some tips from a great Fastweb article.

Another great article from Fastweb: 12 Tips on Winning a Scholarship.

I like these tips. My favorites are: #6: Don't miss deadlines. It sounds simple, but you may have a perfect essay or application, and not even be considered, just because you are late for the deadline. Your application may wind up in the circular file, also known as the wastebasket.

#9: Personalize your essay and be passionate. Yes! This is a great suggestion too. Being passionate and excited about what you are writing about will show the committee that you have your own voice, and will set you above other applicants.

Also, an interesting application will be a welcome addition to the many these people have probably already read (boring ones!).

I personally would add another suggestion: Keep on keeping on - - keep on filling out applications, keep on looking for more scholarships to apply to, and keep yourself motivated.

There are students out there who have paid for their whole college experience by applying for scholarships and grants.

Do I want a scholarship? I would love to GIVE one...

My Scholarship Dreams!

Photo from Villás Galéria és Aukciósház on Wikimedia Commons.

I would love to be able to offer my OWN scholarship to people maybe going back to school or needing some support with that. But until I win the lottery I can't. Darn.

But I do have a Nontraditional Student site, blog, and Yahoo group, and help older students who may be thinking of going back to school, or are already in school.

So this site (the Find Scholarships and Grants blog) helps them, too.

What kind of scholarship would I pick to give away?

I guess either an Art or English scholarship would appeal to me personally. I know that every little bit of money helps, so maybe I will work on getting a grant to do this someday. It is worth looking into!

I could look at people's writing or art portfolios, and select someone with both talent and stick-to-itive-ness.

But for the time being, I write about many different kinds of scholarships here. I hope these links are helpful.

I think people probably have applied with the links here. But so far, I have not applied for any.

Why not?  I guess I think that if I DO win one, then I will need to come up with the REST of the money, then go back to school right away. And I am not sure NOW is the time.

Besides, I can learn a lot just doing my writing (in blogs, for instance) or finishing up some ebooks, AND making some art.There is a lot available on the internet to help, plus in books from the library or from my favorite bookstore in Nashville, McKay's Books.

Are you also thinking of applying for a scholarship? Just search for what kind you are looking for on the pages below OR in this blog. And good luck!

The redesign of the FAFSA page - it looks good! Plus links there to scholarships and grants.

Hi, Scholarship and Grant Seekers!

Pavel Ševela / Wikimedia Commons

I went to the official FAFSA page today to see if I could find out which scholarships they have on their site.

I knew they had some, but wanted to get specific.

I found the FAFSA Grants and Scholarships page there which is here, and they list the Federal Pell Grant, the FSEOG Grants (Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants), the TEACH grants, and the Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grants.

These definitely are worth a look.

They also have PDF's there you can download to your computer. (Hint: put these on your desktop so you can remember where they are, unless you are used to another method. This works well for me.)

Their Quick Links on this page look good too. These include: Aid for Military Families, Loans, Work-Study Jobs, and Basic Eligibility Criteria.

So... if you have not read all these pages at the official FAFSA site, I would recommend them for sure.

All for now,

Betsyanne 

And good luck finding a grant or scholarship!

A lucky Scholarship Find Page of the Day

Hello, scholarship seekers. I hope you are having fun looking up scholarships, and finding funding for school.

I lucked out today and found a great resource. It is a page from the U.S. News and World Report, a respected publication on and offline.

This page lists articles and information just for scholarship seekers.

Here are some of the subjects these well-written and researched articles are about: 5 reasons Scholarships are essential, News and help from the Scholarship Coach, scholarship information for international students, why some Harvard students pay $15,000 a year, financial aid on Facebook, de-stressing from the debt of college loans, and more.

More great sites to help you find scholarships and grants

Tweet

I was surfing the internet today and ran across some really good articles online about finding scholarships and grants.

Here is one:
http://www.ehow.com/how_4721513_scholarships-grants.html
In the article, Doodlebabe, the author, explains that you should not be paying somebody to get scholarships and grants for you, if you can help it. I feel that is because you can find a lot of free help on the internet, such as the FastAid site, to help you find scholarships and grants for free.

Another great resource I want to list here again is the Fatomei site (also known as the Dr. Torres site). It is here: http://scholarships.fatomei.com/college-scholarships-graduate-fellowships.html. One reason I like this site is that it has a large database of many different kinds of scholarships that you can look up just by clicking a category.

The Financial Aid Podcast is another great resource. This great podcast has hints, tips, and also a free newsletter on their site. I highly recommend them. They are always timely and have new podcasts all the time. You can download the podcast in an MP3 file and play it on your computer or on a portable MP3 player too.

I hope you all have a great holiday!
