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 Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance - it's worth a good look.

Tweet

This website (the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) contains 2,245 federal assistance programs that "include all Federal programs available to State and local governments."

Today is the first day I have seen this site. How interesting!

For my readers who want to find grants and scholarships, there is a search box on the upper right that I used to search for scholarships first. I used the word "scholarship" as my first search term. Then I put Guaranteed/Insured loans in the next box. Nothing.

Then I left the top blank and searched Training. I found a link for Native Americans to attend post-secondary schools. It tells the forms and application deadlines too.

Here is that page again:
The Catalog of Public Assistance.

I tried again, leaving the top blank and searching for Project Grants. Included here are some Graduate Fellowships, Tribal Colleges Education Equity Grants, Secondary and Two-Year Postsecondary Agriculture Education Challenge Grants, and more.

Try it out! And let me know what you find.
