Churches, Civic and Public Service Organizations, School Counselors, Bookstores and Libraries
Churches and various civic organizations (e.g. MASONS, ROTARY, LIONS CLUB, Sororities, Fraternities, etc) may offer scholarships (Note: these groups may require family affiliation with the organization.); high school guidance counselors are an excellent source of information regarding scholarships; college financing resources may be found in the Libraries’ reference sections. Also, Bookstores often have large sections of materials dedicated to financing a college education which may contain valuable scholarship information.
Scholarship Scams
Many private scholarship search services provide sources of financial assistance for a fee. We do not evaluate those services. If you decide to use a search service, check its reputation by contacting the Better Business Bureau or your state attorney general’s office. You can search for scholarships for FREE at www.FederalStudentAid.ed.gov. Click here for information regarding scholarship scams and identity theft.
