Scholarship Search Tips

Search diligently and come back often. Scholarships change and new ones are added.
"What if" your search. For example, a student may have an SAT score of 1100 right now, but "what if" he/she retested and scored higher?
Don't limit yourself to one academic major. Select multiple majors to see what's available.
Or better yet, select "No Academic Major" to see the scholarships and financial aid awards available to students regardless of their field of study. Some scholarship awards are based simply upon the student's desire to attend college, with no consideration for the student 's intended major.
Visit your school's guidance office, the public library and college Financial Aid Offices to look for small, local awards that aren 't posted on search engines or in books on scholarships.
