Scholarship Search Tips

• Search diligently, and come back often. Scholarships change, and new ones are continually added.
• “What if” your search. For example, you may have an SAT score of 1100 right now, but “what if” you retook it and scored higher?
• Don’t limit yourself to one academic major. Select multiple majors to see what’s available.
• Or better yet, select “No Academic Major” to see the scholarships and financial aid awards available to you regardless of your field of study. Some scholarship awards are based simply upon your desire to attend college, with no consideration for your intended major.
• Visit your high school guidance counselor’s office, the public library, and local college financial aid offices to look for small, local awards that aren’t posted on search engines or in books on scholarships.
