Scholarship Search

Many students overlook the opportunity to receive private scholarships as a source of financial assistance. Check with your employer,a parent's employer or a community organization that assists its local residents. Don't overlook your high school guidance counselor for scholarship information from your hometown and associated organizations. There are scholarship opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students in all areas of study.

It is never too late to begin your search for scholarships. Apply for as many scholarships as possible. Don't overlook small foundations. Identify your strengths. Keep track of meritorious awards you have received, community volunteer work you have performed, jobs you have held and special interests and hobbies that make you unique.
