SCHOLARSHIPS FOR USA & CANADA

Financial aid from colleges, and the Federal government are not the only sources of assistance available to students. Millions of dollars are given away each year to deserving students by private organizations. Finding these scholarships and applying for them can be a frustrating, but rewarding process. The best place to start looking for scholarships is in your high school guidance office. Once you have a handle on what is available locally, it's time to use the free scholarship search services available on the internet.

Be persistent. Use more than one service. Don't take the application process lightly. Be sure to meet deadlines and to complete applications completely and accurately. Follow application instructions to the letter. You can't be lazy when it comes to asking for other people's money. The extra effort is worth it. Often, simply the quality of an application (complete/accurate/legible/grammatically correct) can make the difference! We recommend you use all of the free sources of scholarship information listed on our site. While there are only so many scholarships, there are many ways to match you to particular sources. All of the following meet our approval.
