Scholarships are the most sought after type of
financial aid out there. Scholarships are so popular because
you do not have to pay them back and some are not based on financial
need like other types of "free" money is.
There are tens of thousands of scholarships available for college
students, you just have to look for it. Some schools will require
you to have the scholarship money sent to them first so they
can include it in your financial aid package. These scholarships
fall under the catagory of Gift Aid.
Scholarships are also one of the hardest types of financial
aid to get because there might be twenty thousand students vying
for one or two scholarships.
We have put together a few resourses below that offer information
about scholarships.
