Scholarships are often awarded to students based on merit or academic performance. Many scholarships are awarded through individual schools for students attending that particular institution. Then check with organizations that might be possible sources of funding for you.
Most public libraries carry scholarship guides that are organized according to field of study.
These guides can provide information about eligibility requirements and application procedures. More often than not, you can do most of the checking on your own, because often you must be connected with the source of the scholarship to be eligible for the award. All applicants who meet the program's income requirements will be considered for a scholarship award. Recipients and non-recipients will be notified about the status of their application by the end of June 2001.
