Two Great Sites to Check, and some Scholarship Seeking Advice.

This week, check out these two great sites and blogs for your scholarship search. If you have already done your FAFSA, be sure to check your Fastweb recommendations.

#1: Fastweb. So many people recommend this site. Why? It is fast, and free. Just register here, and Fastweb can help you find scholarships. It's easy. Here is the site: http://www.fastweb.com/.

#2. FAFSA. This is the OFFICIAL government FAFSA page. It is also free. Don't click anywhere else to do your FAFSA.

Also, make sure you review all the deadlines for the scholarships you have already filled out or are waiting to fill out.

Organize all your applications.

Visit nearby colleges and schools and talk to an Advisor to find out if any NEW grants or scholarships have become available for the subject you want to study.

And don't give up hope. Even if it seems like an impossible quest, there ARE scholarships out there to be had. It's the people that keep on looking that are successful. They apply for a great many scholarships, in order to get one or two or even more.

Be that squeaky wheel. Keep on keeping on. And I hope you get the scholarship you want.

Have you been successful in finding a scholarship? Share your story as a comment. Thanks!

Excellent Artist Grants and Fellowships - an article via Blouin Art Info.

Face sketch by GlennCam on Flickr.

Here is an excellent link I got today via Facebook:

20 Top Artist Grants and Fellowships You Might Actually Be Able to Get - via Blouin Art Info, International Edition.

I have glanced at this, and noticed that a couple of these are for Photography, and one is for people who have "certifiably awesome ideas". That one sounds great!

Check the age limitations on these - they are all different. These are quality awards too. Are you Native American, African-American, Lesbian, comic book artist, or a filmmaker? 

How about an architect, painter, sketch artist, or sculptor? These disciplines and more are covered here.

Good luck! (I may check these out too this time...)

Destiny Solutions sent me a scholarship link today.

It is for the Mary Cone Barrie Scholarship Award. From the page:

"The Marry Cone Barrie Scholarship is a yearly program that was established to recognize the efforts of learners who are improving their lives through continuing education and workforce development. We understand how difficult it can be to embrace the concept of lifelong learning, to go back to school with a full time job and a family. We are proud that we can contribute even a little bit to help make life a little easier. "

This is a scholarship for nontraditional students. You can apply here.: Destiny Solutions: The Mary Cone Barrie Scholarship Award.

Good luck!

Are you thinking ahead? Fill out your FAFSA and get student loans AND grants.

I looked up FAFSA videos on YouTube and found the official one. It was made in 2012. I learned some things while watching it. For instance, you can fill out the official FAFSA form in both English and Spanish.

The FAFSA form still uses a PIN number, which it used to do. This is your personal ID number you use there.



I like the new "Online Chat" feature that the video tells about. You can now list up to 10 schools that you are interested in.

You can also automatically import your IRS information sometimes now too.

If the FAFSA offers a "save" function along the way, I suggest using it, so that you can retrieve your information in case of a computer glitch.

Here is the website too:
http://www.fafsa.gov.

They list http://www.studentaid.gov for a site to go to if you have questions about the FAFSA form.

Good luck on your scholarship search!
