Scholarships: try all avenues, including the school you are interested in.

Hello, scholarship and grant hopefuls!

A signpost for getting money. From 401K (212) on Flickr.

A word of advice for today. 

Besides checking out the scholarship sites online, be sure to check directly with your school to find private scholarships good only at your school.

These scholarships may not be advertised, and are available only if you are getting ready to attend a certain school. You must ask an advisor about them.

These kinds of scholarships are sometimes available for the arts (you try out or show a portfolio) or they can be needs-based (fill out an application and then you find out if you are eligible).

Sometimes local businesses offer scholarships and want the recipient to live locally or go to a local school.

So... ask! Get an appointment with an advisor or ask via email or a letter if you are attending online-online classes.

And good luck!

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.
