Scholarships & Grants

Scholarships

Finding scholarships requires doing your homework. If your child excels in school, sports, science or arts, a scholarship might be available that will pay anything from a few hundred dollars to full tuition, housing and fees.

• Talk with colleges’ financial aid officers, ask friends and use Web sites like scholarshipexperts.com and the free fastweb.com.
• Apply to as many as possible. The more applications, the better your chance of landing one.
• Inquire at work about scholarships and grants for employees’ children
• Community organizations, foundations, religious groups and professional associations are other resources.
