Scholarship Resources
Scholarship Resources
Things to keep in mind when using scholarship search engines:
It shouldn't cost money to gain money - be wary of sites and scholarships that charge a fee. Do not pay to apply for a scholarship!
Be wary of companies that charge you a fee to find grants and scholarships for you - everyone can apply for free on their own.
If you are told you received an award for which you never applied, be wary!
If you join one of the scholarship search sites, such as Fastweb.com, be aware that you may be signing yourself up for lots of junk mail/email. You will also be subject to ads, such as ads for profit schools, within the site to keep the site free - just skip the ads to get to the list of scholarships.
You may come across 'contest' or 'raffle' type of scholarships through these search engines - consider the amount of time you will need to spend vs. the chance of winning, as these generally have a very low chance. It may be better to focus on ones that involve an essay that someone will actually read!
