Financial Aid, Scholarship Resources
Are there any other sources available for information
about private scholarships?
Check with a librarian to find books about private sources of financial aid. School
counselors may also have information about scholarship programs.
The Internet provides several free Scholarship Search Programs. There is a Scholarship
Search Program called FastWeb that lists awards worth over $3.4 billion. Students
may access it at www.fastweb.com
A good site for several sources is the Financial Aid Information Page at www.finaid.
org. That site also provides information regarding scholarship matching scams.
WARNING: Do not pay money to apply for scholarships!
