SCHOLARSHIP AND SEARCH SITES
Another general source for financial aid is the vast number of private clubs, fraternal organizations, and societies in your hometown or their state and national affiliates. This would also include employers or labor groups who offer scholarships or other financial aid to employees, members or their dependents. Searching for these scholarships can be very time consuming. Rather than trying to track down all of these scholarships individually, there are several reliable ways to find this information in much less time.
Be cautious of any site which requires a fee to gain scholarship information. There are many sites on the Web that are free and in all likelihood provide the same information as those which are not. Check out the following sites:
* FastWEB: www.fastweb.com
