Hello Subscriber, Chances are, if you're reading this newsletter you're Internet savvy. That's good news, since the Internet might be the best place to research scholarships, grants and all the different ways to pay for school. There are four major sites to search. These are College Board Scholarships, CollegeNet Mach25, Fast Web, and CASHE.
One of the easiest and quickest ways to get started is at FreeCollegeScholarships. Here at FCS we want to help you pay for college and we’re holding a 10k scholarship drawing on Sept. 30th, 2009 . Click Here to Register.
 In this newsletter we’ll talk about searching Internet data bases and often the first database searched is College Board Scholarships.
It has fewer total scholarships than some of the other databases, but most of the scholarships found are for a large number of awardees and for larger than normal amounts. To get to as many scholarships as possible, select several items from each category field.
On CollegeNET MACH25 you complete a five-category questionnaire inputting specifics about yourself. You also input search criteria. You will probably find more scholarships than you have time to apply for. If so, narrow down your search criteria and do multiple searches using only a few criteria at a time. If you see the same scholarships appearing on several of your searches, consider applying for these first.
Fast WEB says it is the largest scholarship search database on the Internet. Over 400,000 awards can be found from this database. However, you must fill out a detailed questionnaire and sign up for a free mailbox. Unfortunately, the characteristics of the search engine allow you to obtain only a limited number of scholarship recommendations for each search. Therefore, you will need to search multiple times using changing parameters. |
