Where to look:

• Scholarships Currently Available
• On-line scholarship search engines and information
• The school or public library
• Employers and unions or employee groups
• Scholarship search companies
  • Consumer Beware!
    Students are cautioned not to pay a fee to agencies who offer to conduct a scholarship search without first checking the validity of that agency. Many times, the information provided is available elsewhere at no cost to the student. Other students have reported that leads provided have not materialized, addresses are bad, information was erroneous, money was wasted! Check out this web page for information on scholarship scams.

• Apply only for those scholarships for which you qualify
• Request applications from all potential scholarship donors
• Apply before the deadlines
• Obtain letters of reference
• Print or type all letters and applications
