Unfortunately, you missed most of the scholarship application deadlines by waiting until April of your senior year to start searching for college scholarships. There are scholarships out there though. I have done a recent search on Scholarship Experts and have come across those with still taking applications in at this time. I will give you a list of free places to locate scholarships in your community and online.
First, the college’s financial aid office and website has a list of private scholarships offered from outside organizations and companies. Sometimes a college major’s website will list scholarships, too.
Second, the public library has a book listing scholarships with some not even listed on the web.
Third, the high school guidance office has a list of local scholarships and state scholarships & grants.
Fourth, a campus work study job can help with money needed during the school year. The program is funded by the federal government. It will be a job on campus and most times can work to your availability schedule. There should be a box on the FAFSA form for it.
Fifth, if you have not completed it, I recommend filling out the FAFSA form. It will tap into need based financial aid from the government along with the college itself.
Finally, I recommend joining several free membership scholarship search websites. There are scholarships for a variety of things including ethnicity, clubs, hobbies, and even wearing duct tape to the high school prom. Most are updated on a regular basis. Most offer a customized search based on information entered onto a form on the website.
Good luck!
