TIME.

CAN BE THE MOST WORK…
• Private scholarships take a lot of work – but are often
are the deciding factor against student loans or can fill
the financial need gap left over after all federal, state &
institutional aid is awarded!
• Can garner/be awarded as many as possible
• Some do take financial need into consideration, some do
not
• Look @ it like a job – 45 minutes to an hour every few
daysWEBSITES THAT CAN HELP • https://www.scholarsnapp.org/- finding scholarships • https://www.studentscholarships.org/ - finding scholarships • http://www.wiredscholar.com/ - SallieMae site for financial aid • http://www.collegepayway.com/ - tools for planning to pay for college • https://www.goingmerry.com/ - the “Common App” for scholarships • AND CommonApp has a scholarship search engine too – Scholar SnApp!!
WHERE ELSE TO LOOK?
• Local organizations such as Rotary & Kiwanis clubs
often offer service-based scholarships to students in the
communities they serve
• Houses of Worship will often help/sponsor and in some
cases even create a scholarship to assist students in their
congregation – why not spearhead the program if it doesn’t
already exist?

and many other corporations offer generous scholarships
