<strong>SCHOLARSHIP</strong> <strong>NEWSLETTER</strong> #5<br />
∙ March 27, 2012 ∙<br />
There are two types of financial assistance for college. The first type is FINANCIAL AID, a<br />
combination of scholarships, loans, and work granted to you by your college if you<br />
demonstrate need for assistance.<br />
The second type is MERIT <strong>SCHOLARSHIP</strong>, money given to you regardless of your financial<br />
need. Some merit scholarships are granted by foundations and can be used at any college.<br />
Many are granted by specific colleges to be used only at those colleges. Many target a<br />
specific type of student. Carefully read the descriptions below to be sure you qualify.<br />
If you are looking for college-specific scholarships, there is a blue binder in Mrs.<br />
Dunnington’s office;; please feel free to look at it. In addition, many scholarships require<br />
nominations by the school. For those scholarships, we ask you to nominate yourselves to<br />
us. Once we know who is interested, we will select the school’s nominee(s).<br />
We have more information about these scholarships than there is room to include in this<br />
newsletter. We also encourage you to register with www.fastweb.org, a free scholarship<br />
search device. Please feel free to stop by the College Office with any questions.<br />
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT MANY OF<br />
