Scholarship Searches
Remember that there are many online scholarship searches. These can be very helpful, but you want to be careful. Most will take some of your personal information then email you scholarships in which you are eligible. However some sites share your information with colleges and universities. Know where your information goes! Lastly, do not pay for free money. A few sites will require a fee, however there are many that don’t. If you are looking for money, don’t pay for it, or you will be farther behind than you began. Below are some searches:
