Check out some of the free scholarship search sites on the Internet. Go to your local library and look for scholarship books that have addresses of scholarship programs you can write to for information. Read the scholarship description carefully and make sure that you meet all the eligibility requirements. Do not waste time applying for scholarships for which you are not eligible. Write a brief letter to the scholarship organization asking for an application.
Word processors are great for sending multiple letters.
When the application arrives, complete it and keep a copy for your records. Be sure to send it well before the stated application deadline. You have nothing to lose by seeking outside scholarships. Caution Avoid advertisements for companies that charge a fee to find scholarships for you. In most cases, they only send you a list of addresses you can write to for possible scholarships.
