There are several benefits to students who take the time and energy to scholarship search. The first benefit of receiving a scholarship is obvious, the student receives funding to assist them in financing their college education.
Many institutions provide scholarship funding to some students.
The criteria for institutional funding vary from institution to institution as well as from scholarship to scholarship. Contact the Admission Office or financial aid office at your school about the types and criteria for any institutional scholarships. Local civics groups, corporate organizations, and church groups are very good sources for scholarship funding. Contact your High School Guidance Counselor as well as members from the different organizations in your area about possible opportunities for scholarship funding. Another excellent resource in searching for scholarships is the internet.
