Scholarships

 

Never pay for a scholarship search. All of the most reputable scholarship search engines and match ups services are free. Here are just a few.  Also check with your high school counselor, who may be able to clue you in to some locally offered scholarships that didn’t make the state or national search engines.

With so much free money out there, it’s a wonder anyone ever pays for school. Don’t be put off by your pre-conceived notions about who you need to be to get a scholarship.  Many scholarships re more quirky than academic, and many are for trades rather than 4 year degrees!  For example, a $30,000 scholarship may exist for a red headed welder interested in pursuing a career in Lion taming. You just don’t know ‘til you start digging.
