Get with your Advisor - - they may know of other avenues too.

NEVER pay to find scholarships. There are MANY ways to find them for free.

Places to check for Scholarships

Are you going to school right now? Be sure to see your advisor and check on scholarships you may qualify for right where you are. There may be little-known financial help there. Make sure to make an appointment and talk about that at least one time this semester.

Your FAFSA application and scholarships - when you applied for loans, you were automatically sent some scholarship opportunities if you qualified for them.

Checking the usual websites - are you registered for more than one "Search Site" online. They do the work FOR you, sending you email when a scholarship fits your skills, wants or needs, or area. Some popular sites for this (and free) are Fastweb, the Fatomei site, Scholarships.com. A recent posting at USA Today suggests a new site called Zinch.com that looks worth a look too. Their 3-sentence Essay contest that they do each week sounds interesting!

Good luck in your scholarship searching! List your favorites too, as a comment.

Have a great week.

Knuckle down... and never give up on looking for that great scholarship or grant.

A thought for today:

Don't give up just because there are many applicants for scholarships.

You may think that all scholarships are already taken, and that only the genius applicants will get the nod.

It is not true. 

Things like service, clubs, groups, specialized knowledge, entrepreneurship, background, residency, special skills, and many more things are taken into account when scholarships or grants are awarded.

You need to give a scholarship or grant search the seriousness and organization you give other important things, like looking for a job or doing research.

Just saying.

Here are some postings to help you in your scholarship search:

Finding Scholarships Only YOUR School Offers

Tips on Finding and Securing Scholarships

and

How to Organize your Scholarship Search.

Good luck on your search - - and I hope you find a GREAT scholarship or grant.

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!
