To help you get started on your scholarship search, you should use the
sections in The Scholarship ToolBox in the following manner:
- Look at the Scholarship Timeline to get an idea of how you
should be organizing your time and resources to apply for the
maximum amount of scholarships and financial aid.
- Review the Scholarship Myths, Scams, and Success Stories
section of the toolbox.
- Use the Free Scholarship Search section to visit computerized
scholarship search web sites to get a quick start list of
scholarships for which you may be eligible. Remember, using
the Internet should give you a jump-start on your search. You
should still search for local and regional scholarships that
probably will not be on the Web. Smaller scholarships will not
be either. The most successful students use a combination of
the Internet, books, and local research to create a personal
scholarship application list.
- Refer to The Scholarship & Aid Programs section to visit specific
scholarship programs for your situation. For example, if you are
a high school student, visit the high school section. If you are a
high school student and a minority, visit both the high school
and the minority section. In addition, if you are a student already
in college or a return-to-college student, there are sections for
you also. Please note that these sections give you examples
and useful resources to help you begin your scholarship
research. Please do not rely upon them as your sole source of
research. There may be many more scholarships available to
you than those listed on this site. In fact, you will find even more
programs listed in Winning Scholarships for College.
- Visit the Books & Resources section to find books and
resources you should keep handy as you start preparing your
applications for scholarships.
- See the Scholarship Tips section to learn common mistakes
made by students when applying for scholarships.
- Read the FAQ’s to see common questions and their answers.
Some of the answers may be helpful to you as you embark on
your scholarship quest.
