Check your school for grants, work-study, and jobs.

At Western, (WKU, in Kentucky) there are several food companies attached to the school. Western also offers work-study programs, which are different depending on the department. Some look almost fun, in that you get to help professors be organized or do filing.

I know that getting a job at a campus-located company may not be like a scholarship (which is like free money really...) but it does help with day to day expenses, PLUS it is close to classes sometimes.

Grants? Your school may keep a list of them, and they may each have different application deadlines and requirements. Your school might offer these - - to people that ASK about them.

So, just ask. Your school advising department may have a program just for you.

Just a few thoughts today for all my scholarship and grant-seeking friends!

Stories from Fulbright Scholars, and a link to apply for a Fulbright Scholarship

Stories from the Fulbright Program.

I received an offer to read a story about being a Fulbright Scholar in India. That got me thinking. Why not share some stories about being a Fulbright scholar online, for many locations?

So what is this program exactly? Here is a short description of it from the Fulbright Scholarship site:

"Today, Fulbright is the most widely recognized and prestigious international exchange program in the world, supported for more than half a century by the American people through an annual appropriation from the U.S. Congress and by the people of partner nations. The program—working with universities, schools, binational Fulbright commissions, government agencies, nongovernmental organizations and the private sector—actively seeks out individuals of achievement and potential who represent the full diversity of their respective societies and selects nominees through open, merit-based competitions. "

Here is a page at the Fulbright site containing stories about nursing and computer science in India, Creative Writing in Japan, and U.S. Studies in Sri Lanka, among others. Here is that link:

And here are more Fulbright Stories from the site.

I myself once took piano lessons from a Fulbright student. I wish I had asked her about her experiences. I think this is a great program, enriching both the student and those around him or her.

If you are interested, here is a link to the Frequently Asked Questions page at the Fulbright site to find out more.

The Dr. Torres Database - good for a close look. It has many different categories.

How to read and navigate the Torres/Fatomei database.

On the surface, the Dr. Torres/Fatomei database doesn't seem to have a lot to it. BUT it has been online for a long time, and has some very useful links in it that other websites don't have.

The title when you get to the site, High School Seniors: College Scholarships, Student Financial Aid, describes the page well. You need to scroll down past the ads then, to see the quality links below them.

For me, since I am not a high school senior, the links at the right side of the site are much more interesting. Some of these include African Americans, Minorities, Native Americans, Women, Arts and Humanities, College and Graduate School, Medical School, and Nationally Coveted, just to name a few.

Just click on these categories to see what is listed there. Here is a screen shot of the site to help you see the different areas.

The right side links are easy to see, and have grey shading.

You can also see the Google ads there. When you scroll down past them, you will see K-12, College Scholarships, etc. Below this are the actual Dr. Torres links.

This site is a treasure trove of many kinds of scholarships, grants, awards, fellowships, and internships. I like the way everything is available for you to see and how it is classified. It is very up-front and easy to read too.

Let me know what you find by leaving a comment.
