Outside Scholarships and Aid

Outside scholarships are great tools to help with college funding. Below are some web sites that offer FREE scholarship searches:

• collegeboard.com
• fastweb.org
• nextstudentloans.com

Here are a couple of things we have learned along the way about outside scholarships that you should keep in mind:

• Never pay for scholarship information; it’s free from web sites such as the ones mentioned above.
• Many outside scholarships are available for only your first year of college. Sometimes, students enter college with a significant amount of outside scholarships, only to have none of those funds after the first year. So, just be careful and plan accordingly.
