Scholarship Search Advice
What are the best resources for students and parents when searching for scholarships? To start, you need a plan. Think about how much time you can spend on the process, how early you can start, who can help, etc. Some advice – you can never start too early or get enough help.
I can provide a few links to resources but would love to get your thoughts and suggestions.
For searching, try the Student Scholarship Search website which offers a free open directory of thousands of awards, grants and scholarships. Their new design offers tools for saving scholarships that are relevant and tips for improving your chances of qualifying. They recently published Scholarship Search Mistakes which lists the top 5 mistakes students make when searching for scholarships.
Another great site is http://www.scholarshippoints.com which gives out scholarships every month with a chance to win $10,000 every 3 months!
What are you favorite resources? Do you have any advice for the rest of us??
