Searching for Scholarships
Congratulations! You have received your college admissions decision letter and the good news is YOU HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED! For some students this is the end of one part of the college journey and the beginning of another. After reviewing grants, and scholarships offered from the university, there may be still a need for additional monies to cover the Cost Of Attendance. Now is a great time to start searching for scholarships.
Many colleges and universities will offer additional merit based scholarships, which you will find on college financial aid and scholarship web pages. There are also scholarships that are available to anyone and can be used at any college and university - also known as Outside Scholarships. To assist you in the search for scholarships, you can use scholarship search engines. There are many scholarship search engines to choose from but I have listed a few that were highlighted in an article entitled, "10 Sites to Kick Off Your Scholarship Search" in US News and World Report.
Remember, you should not pay a fee to apply for scholarships. If you are asked to pay a fee, that site/scholarship may not be legitimate.
Your high school website (Indian Hill HS lists scholarships opportunities in Naviance)
Community foundation website
College websites where you're applying
These sites were not mentioned in the article, but are worth checking out.
Again, congratulations and good luck in your scholarship searches!
