Scholarships

Scholarships can be an excellent way to acquire additional funding for college. There are literally thousands of scholarship programs available today. Many people incorrectly believe that all scholarships require a student to commit to a particular organization, company or industry after they reach graduation. Although this is sometimes the case, it is not always true.

There are so many scholarships of so many types available that it is literally impossible to identify them all. Scholarships can be obtained from many, many sources:

• Education Institutions

• Private Sector

• Public Sector

• Individuals

• Non profit Organizations

• Foundations

• Religious Organizations

• Ethnic Communities

• Financial Institutions

• Many others

Although there are many scholarships that are targeted at those demonstrating special talent in an area, such as academics, athletics or the arts, there are also many sources for scholarships based on a myriad of other factors, such as:

• Ethnicity

• Religious Affiliation

• Income Level

• Geographic Area

• Community

• Special Interest

• Special Needs

• Many Others

An important consideration when seeking to obtain a scholarship of any sort is understanding if and how receiving a scholarship may affect other sources of financial aid for education. Different loan, grant and institutional programs have different rules about scholarship funding. Talk to your institution about how obtaining scholarships may affect other sources of college funding.

Caution: The Government has issued a number of warnings to students about scholarship scams. Be cautious if the promises sound too good or too easy to be true.
