College Grants and Scholarships...Where's Yours?

Who do you think that college grants and scholarships are for?

super smart students?
minority groups?
the very, very poor or the very, very rich?

No, there is a grant or scholarship out there for anyone and everyone. You just have to find it.

We've all heard of weird scholarships- you know, short people scholarships, scholarships for red hair or for being left-handed, but what these really tell you is that you can never tell what is important to other people (or organizations).

And if it is important to someone, chances are there's a scholarship for it.

The real question is: How do you find the scholarship(s) meant for you?

You could rely on your guidance counselor- I'm sure he or she can recall all the details of the 1.3 million (and growing!) different scholarships out there and know which one you'd be perfect for.

You could comb through list after list of scholarships yourself- After all, you have nothing better to do for the next few months, right?

Or you could do what many people do- nothing at all.

That's why, every year, there are thousands of unclaimed scholarships. Some of these just get rolled over for future winners, and others get returned to their donors.

All unclaimed scholarships are wasted opportunities. And its not just the weird scholarships that sit there- some Coca Cola scholarships, Walmart scholarships, Bell lab scholarships, Xerox scholarships, Gates scholarships also go unclaimed.

FastWeb

Ok, so if you're not going to go out and find scholarships, then let them find you.

Register with a national database and be contacted if schools, corporations, community organizations, etc. have a scholarship that you match.

The service I recommend is [COMPENSATED AFFILIATE LINK] Fast Web.

It's quick, it's easy and it's free (which any scholarship search should be).

FastWeb has been in business since 1995 and it is the scholarship site that most schools use (16,000 high schools and 3,600 colleges). Their database is continuously updated and contains more than $3 billion worth of scholarships.

Consider yourself warned- they do have ads. (This doesn't bother me- the way I look at it, if I see ads from reputable companies, I know the site is legitimate.) This is how they are able to keep their service free for their customers.

The application is about 5 pages total. (In between each page, is an ad- you can scroll to the bottom and click to continue to the next page, if you're not interested.)

I've done this myself- it takes about 1/2 hour and it is worth it.
