#5--Schools Colleges, universities and some other post secondary schools offer grants and/or scholarships!

Colleges and Universities--Institutional Grants

Don't forget to apply directly to a college or university. Most schools offer various scholarships for their students. Go to the website of the school where you plan on attending.

Coordinate your timing on this: Your application to the school, your acceptance, financial aid. Talk to admissions and financial aid personnel.

Examples:

University of Pittsburgh Admissions and Financial Aid

Penn State Student Aid

Some of the schools have special scholarships. This is how to find them:

Example: Type in your search engine: "Bucknell University+art, dance, theatre scholarships" and you see this:

-Arts Merit Scholarships

Try other college names in place of Bucknell using the same formula.

#6--Community and Work

Foundation, Company, Religious Organization Grants

Foundation Grants — grants offered by private nonprofit foundations. Ask your school district personnel about local foundation grants.

Example: The ICCSD Foundation

Company Grants — Ask your parents or guardians if their employer has any programs for the children of their employees. There are some out there.

Example: Allegheny County Bar Asso.

--If you are employed, maybe your employer offers scholarships

Example: McDonald's

Church or Religious Organizations -Some religious organizations offer scholarships to their members and families.

Example: Catholic Aid

Try other names in place of "Catholic" or "McDonalds" or "ICCSD" in the above examples using the same formula.

"[your school district] Foundation"= Example: type in "Chambersburg Area School District Foundation" and you get CASD Foundation.

Try adding to or altering the name or add a state =Example: "Oklahoma Baptist Scholarship" and you get Oklahoma Baptist University.

Some Final Thoughts

Make sure you read all the fine print on the websites.

Look for links to other sites of interest.

Check out the school you plan on attending. Ask others about the school.

Try to get grants and scholarships rather than loans that you have to pay back.

Some aid is better than NO aid. Try, try, again! Don't give up. A $500 grant/scholarship is better than $0!

May your dreams come true.
