Find College Money

There are many multi-purpose websites with lots of good college information about financial aid and scholarships. Some sites require the user to set up an account with a username and password. This way the search is personalized. DO NOT use a site that requires you to pay.  Information should be free!  If you have any questions about a site requiring payment for a scholarship search, contact Mr. Lance.

Be sure to read the specific guidelines for each scholarship regarding deadline requirements.  If you have questions, see Mr. Lance.
