Have you applied for a #scholarship yet? What might be stopping you from applying... roadblocks.

Roadblocks for Scholarship Seekers






If you are like me, dreaming about a scholarship is about the closest you will get to getting one this year. Why is that?

I think I can come up with several reasons for myself. I wonder if these are reasons others have too.

#1. If I spend the time on applying for a scholarship, it probably won't be me that is chosen. Reasons? Age, I won't be the best fit, I will answer a question wrong, or who knows.

#2. I am not sure I want to go back to school again anyhow.

#3. If I get a scholarship, I'm not sure how long it will continue.

#4. It will take such a long time to fill out the form(s), I don't know if it will even be worth it.

#5. I can't decide what KIND of scholarship I want.

Sound familiar?  I write these partly because sometimes I actually think I should apply, even though I have made roadblocks for myself. Will I do it?
 
Well, Maybe. (See #5...)

the Free Grant Money site

Federal Reserve NoteImage via Wikipedia It would be nice to have a pile of these. Right?








A New Multi-layered Grants Site

I saw this today at the Digg site (http://www.digg.com). The site I found is a great resource, because it is free and has been around since 2002. It is run by Charles Kassotis, who lives in Costa Rica.

Here it is:
The Free Grant Money site. 



Here are some things on the site you may like:

1. The Free Grant Money blog - this blog is associated with the site, and helps explain about loans, grants, and business grants.


2. The Government Grant Links page - this page includes links like The Foundation Center and the Foundation Center Finder page.


3. The NIH Institute of Health grant opportunities, which features information on OSHA grants, award programs, and special announcements from the NIH.


 This is a multi-layered site with many opportunities for learning, grants, and scholarships from all kinds of government programs.
