Web Resources for Scholarships

There are many scholarship search engines available on the web: fastweb.com and finaid.org are excellent resources students may use free of charge for scholarship searches and information.

Please be aware that although there are many legitimate scholarship search sites on the Internet, there are also many sites that could be referred to as scams.

Note: If a scholarship site requires a payment or a commitment that will result in charges later on, search for a new site.

The first letter in FAFSA stands for FREE. Don’t pay for an application you can (and probably already did) fill out for free. There are many companies promising students and their families funding grants, scholarships and low-interest loans for a minimal payment of $30 to $100. In return for the payment, the family receives only the FAFSA application.

If you are uncertain about what search engine to use, or have received a mailing from a scholarship search company (or any company promising to assist you with financing your student’s college education) contact the Financial Aid Office immediately.

The following list identifies several scholarship websites and sources of information.  However, this list is not inclusive, and you are encouraged to seek scholarship funding from any available source.
