Scholarships & Financial Aid
College is a major investment, not only in time and effort, but also financially. To afford college, many students receive scholarships and financial aid from both public and private organizations. Here are some resources that will help you find available scholarships and financial aid.
We have two major sections on this portion of our site, the Featured Scholarships and the College Search Resources. The Featured Scholarships are opportunities that colleges, universities, and other organizations contact us about and we in turn let the students and parents know about via this site and our newsletter. The College Search Resources are good general sites that have either search engines or extensive listings of scholarships.
