WKU offers Bonner Scholarship Program

Great info! I received this information today via an email from the local ALIVE group.

The ALIVE group helps people in the community help others by volunteering and learning about community needs.They are connected to this program, whose full name is the Corella & Bertram F. Bonner Foundation.

There are 80 different schools in the Bonner Scholarship network. Western Kentucky University is one of them.

The Bonner Scholarship Program has its own web page at Western. This sounds like a great opportunity.

Students get help with their schooling, PLUS the students have a chance to give back with community service. I like this!

Here is a list of colleges who are part of the Bonner Network. Is your school listed there?

Funding for International Students coming to the U.S. to study

Tweet

Hi, everyone! I hope you are finding funding for your educational journey.

I got a question today online about sources for overseas students coming to the US to study.

I am posting part of my answer here, and adding more about it too.

Are you serious about coming the US to study? Then I would suggest looking into scholarships and grants right away. It could make all the difference for you.

First, I would check out the school(s) you are interested in. Chances are they may have their own funds, scholarships, and grants you can apply for. Get in touch with Admissions to find out.

Secondly, look for QUALITY sites online to find out about even more programs.

For US Resources for out-of-country students, try searching for overseas scholarships on my Scholarships and Grants blog here:

http://www.findscholarshipsandgrants.blogspot.com/

Use the Search function to the right there.

US State Department resources listed with sites like Scholarships.com or FastWeb, or maybe the Gold Standard scholarships are good ideas, as well as the great Fulbright Scholarships. 

 

There are also some listed on this page: http://www.finaid.org/scholarships/prestigious.phtml. Scroll down to see these.

 

You can also google "US educational opportunities for foreign students" or "US Scholarships for International Students" and see what comes up. I think you may be pleasantly surprised at the variety and kind of international student scholarships available today.

 

Good luck finding sources, and I hope these are helpful hints too.

C. Herd and The Artivist join together to list many links, scholarship sites, internships and more on this blog site for both undergraduates and graduate students on her blog. In addition, it is continually updated and well worth checking out.

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.

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!

Here are two great articles I found today.  

They are both on the Scholars4dev.com site. The first one is Foreign Government Scholarships for International Students from Developing Countries.

If you do not qualify for a scholarship, you may still study in other countries at some free universities. However, you must still pay room and board, and sometimes other fees.

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

Tweet

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!

The Big List of Nursing Scholarship Links - Version Two

Tweet

My Latest Nursing Scholarship Links. I added some this time.

The big, quality list of Nursing Scholarship Links (Version Two)

These scholarship information and help site links (below) are great free resources for students who want to go to nursing school or who are already in school and would like to find more funding.

I found many “new” scholarship pages just for nursing, but they had too many ads on them, or just emphasized online schools (which may have paid these sites for listing their schools).

These sites listed below are some of the best information sites and feature lots of links to help you find money for nursing schools across the country. They are free, nationally recognized, quality sites that have many links and help for people interested in going to nursing school. I hope you find them useful.

Do you have a favorite scholarship site you would like to see added to this list? Please list it in a comment and I will go there to check it out. Thanks!

Things to do in-between your scholarship applications

Tweet

I have to admit. I have good intentions, but still have not used this blog to fill out my OWN scholarships and blogs and register on all the sites I need to register on. 

I did plan it that way, and as a helpful addition to information for nontraditional students, but I'm you know how things can morph sometimes.

So... I am doing things in-between applications. Here are just a few you might like too.

#1. Organize your house. I like the FlyLady site for this. http://www.flylady.net/

#2. Write a novel in the month of November. Just go to the NaNoWriMo site to sign up.  http://www.nanowrimo.org/

#3. Start a blog about your educational grant and scholarship search. Then send me the link. I'll be happy to link to it. I use Blogger, but Wordpress is good too, among others.

All for now - so what neat things can YOU suggest in-between scholarship applications?

Let me know with a comment.

The FAFSA: when should you apply for next year?

Tweet

The Explorer art is from the Microsoft Clipart Pages.

Exploring the FAFSA...

You can check for your state's FAFSA Deadlines at this page:
http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/deadlines.htm

This is the official page to check. I looked up Kentucky's deadlines today. It listed these deadlines for the 2011-2012 school year: The Federal deadline is June 30, 2012. Corrections must be made by September 15, 2012.

(from the website) 

College Deadline
Each college may have a different deadline. Check with the college(s) you are interested in attending. You may also want to ask your college about their definition of an application deadline - whether it is the date they receive your FAFSA, or the date your FAFSA is processed."

 

So, if you are wanting to attend next year, and plan ahead, I'm pretty sure the due dates will be similar. AND the budget crisis being what it is, I would apply right on January 1st of next year. That is the first day to apply. As the FinAid site explains,  
 

"FAFSA Deadlines

Financial aid applications, such as the FAFSA, should be submitted as soon as possible after January 1, but no sooner. You cannot submit the form before January 1, because the need analysis process uses your financial information from the prior tax year when calculating eligibility for the upcoming award year"

You can contact FAFSA directly at this link:

https://fafsa.ed.gov/contact.htm

They have live help here every day but Sunday. They also have an email address at this site.

You can also find out more about Federal Student Aid at this page:

http://federalstudentaid.ed.gov/students.html

 

Here is something new at the site. It's called the FAFSA4caster. You can see what your estimated loan amounts may be and what you qualify for ahead of time.

Here is the page for that:

https://fafsa.ed.gov/FAFSA/app/f4cForm?execution=e2s1

Seven redone NT State Pages with Scholarships added

Tweet

I have been redoing my Nontraditional Student State Pages one at a time at the Betsyanne Nontraditional Student website. 

I am adding scholarship links to them, too. I think this goes well with each State page because in order to go back to school as a nontraditional student (or any age student), people sometimes need to find funds and don't want to put everything on a loan.

Here are the latest redone pages that include scholarship links.

I hope to have every state and its scholarships done by next year - or maybe this one!



Here are the State pages with Scholarship links added:
Alabama
Texas
Arkansas
Ohio
Kentucky
Colorado
and Maryland.

Make sure to refresh each page when you visit.

Comment below and let me know which page(s) you want me to improve next.

Nontrad Notes, Scholarships, and Support

Here are some notes about where to find scholarships for nontraditional students and other nontrad links.

Nontraditional students are becoming a larger and larger group all around the country and the world. They are usually older students who have taken a break from school and are now going back.


If you are a nontraditional student, you can find scholarships at the Nontrad Scholarship Pages One and Two, and also connect with other nontraditional students here at these sites:


The Nontrad page and blog, Nontrads on Facebook, the Yahoo Nontrads Group, and Nontrads on Twitter.

Scholarships for Writers

Tweet

And this is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg!

I was surprised to find so many scholarships that were available to students who write poetry, are journalists, and want to attend a conference.

It made me think that googling your state plus "writing conference scholarship" might yield great results. Plus, you would be able to attend that writing conference much easier, with less money needed.

Also, googling Writing Scholarships (plus your state) is also a great idea. Let me know if this works. I will be trying it for the Nontraditional student State Pages later on.

Here are some sites I discovered today. Some include poetry writers and journalists. I tried to steer clear of age requirements.
