Scholarships (reputable Site)

[pam]

Does anyone know of a reputable site to search for available scholarships without having to pay a huge service fee just to look? I have a senior this year and I don't know where to look.

Her school isn't providing much information.

Try contacting the financial aid offices of the schools she is interested in, they should be able to give a list of available scholarships and grants. I got a couple scholarships and grants when I went to school, they were a great help. With your income, she should qualify for some grant assistance if nothing else.

The B.E.O.G. is available to most students. It is the Basic Education Oportunity Grant. Does not have to be repaid.

Where would she like to go to school?

They call it the Federal Pell Grant now.

I'd also like information on this subject for me next year. School won't be easy to pay for.

She wants to go to UVSC or UVU as it will be known officially by next school year.

Shows how old I am Frank. I thought the Pell grants were another all by themselves.

No comment necessary Pam.

check out ed.gov

There is an online application for government financial aid. With your childrens ages and single parent status she should be eligible for some of that aid.

ummm i don't know if this is still relevant but fastweb.com has scholarships that you can go through and you can sign up to have them send you information about scholarships as they become available.

If you want scholarships I am pretty sure most high schools have at least a college counselor with whom your son can speak. The counselors at my school have so many resources, yet they are often complaining about how no one applies for those scholarships. Check with the high school, basically. They actually are helpful.
