Additional Scholarship and Financial Aid FYI’s
You should contact the college of your choice or check their web
page to see what scholarships are available.
Scholarship search options: google “scholarships”, check above
mentioned websites, college websites, the bulletin board in the
lunch room, your parents/grandparents work place, organizations
that your parents/grandparents are involved with, and your
church.
You should never have to pay to do a scholarship search or apply
for a scholarship. An upfront fee is not needed for scholarships or
loan applications.
Never give credit card, bank account information, or social
security information to award providers.
An official-sounding name or endorsement does not automatically
mean legitimacy.
Applying for financial aid should never cost anything.
Free financial aid seminars are not generally totally free, and you
can get the same results by doing your FAFSA in January which is
free.
You may need reference letters. Do you know who you will ask? Make
sure to give your reference at least two weeks to write a wonderful
letter of recommendation for you.
