What are the easiest scholarships and grants to qualify for?

Fastweb.com is a great resource for scholarships. If you are not on it, you should be! Make your profile and then it will tell you which scholarships you qualify for. Also, check with the college you want to attend, because specific college scholaships are easier to get than scholarships that are open to everyone. Remember - Less people applying means better chance for winning! Apply for stuff that you think other people won't want to. If it has an essay on some random, boring topic, write it - everyone else thinks it is random and boring too, and so they won't want to apply.

As the mother of a college student, been there done that! Go online and fill out a FAFSA. This will determine the amount of grants and subsidized loans your son will be eligible for. Then go to fastweb.com and check out some scholarships, have your son apply for these. (Fastweb won't share your info unless you tell them too and they don't spam you.) If you need more money to pay for college you can talk with the financial aid office at the University about scholarships that they offer, including departmental scholarships, and also about a CAL or Sallie Mae loan. I' ve listed the links below, hope they help.

The answer is, it depends.  Scholarships are generally competitive in nature, requiring that you make good grades or have an above average performance in something (say music or athletics).\n\nNeed-based aid (grants, loans, etc.) is available, however, to those who can demonstrate that they need help to pay for college. Visit with the financial aid office at your college for information and assistance. You will very likely have to complete a FAFSA (http://www.fafsa.ed.gov).\n\nThe best place to find merit scholarships is the scholarship office at the college or university you plan to attend. After you've contacted that office, you should also work through your local sources: your or your parents' employers, fraternal organizations in your area (Lion's Club, etc.), your church/diocese/synagoge, your youth group/athletic team sponsor/coach, your high school counselor and your high school principle. Then visit your local library and browse through their reference books on college grants or go online and search for grants at sites such as www.fastweb.org.\n\nBest of luck! \n\nSource(s):\n\nHill Country ECS http://www.hillcountryecs.com\nThe Future Prep Workbook (College Planner) http://www.lulu.com/content/264487......

Family, relatives, friends, social organizations, community organizations, government entities, etc. You could also get a loan - which tends to be the most popular route in this type of case. Or get a job (part-time or full-time) that will help you pay for school.\nFor a directory of scholarships: http://www.macquil.com/scholarships.php

Just fill our the FASFA. You may pick up a form @ the financial aid department of any college/university. After you fill this out you may find that you are automatically signed up for grants. You don't have to pay back grants. The FAFSA is also the root of qualification for most SCHOLARSHIPS... You need to meet a certain need in order to get financial help that is available @ your financial instituation. Financial aide will usually let you know what you qualify for if you ask... after you get back the paper work from Financial Aide, of coarse. I had to learn all this the hard way since I was the first in my family to go to college... Let me know if you need further help.

Apply for financial aid is a good start.\n    1. In the application, write a good essay.\n    2. They won't give you a good scholarship unless you need one. So you better be poor or middle income.\n    3. You will also need your parent's salary records, your savings account details and all that financial banking stuff.\n    4. A good High school transcript. from 3.5 to 4.0 GPA for most colleges. \n    5. Interesting and unusual extra activities.\n\nAnd check the additional information on your college's website. The ones I gave are popular ones.\n\nPlus if you are applying for a top college like Harvard, Princeton, MIT ect. you will have a good chance of getting it. Those college have a big budget for financial aid. It's the more poor colleges that have an intense competition for the money.

HOPE Scholarship if you graduate with a B or better average in high school.  You must maintain a 3.0 in college to keep HOPE.\n\nPell Grant if your financial needs show that you need it.  \n\nThese are the 2 most common, there is another grant, but I am not sure of which one it is.

You can get a grant or a scholarship by filling out the FAFSA form.  There are grants and scholarships for non-conventional students.  Such as those who have taken time off to work or raise children.  \n\nYou can fill out the FAFSA form online but I currently do not have the web address, however know that when you do fill it out. you'll need tax information and such.  Scholarships are generally given out based on need.\n\nGood luck!

Go to the financial aid office at the college you plan to attend.  You may qualify for grants depending on what your assets are and your last year's income.  Good luck.
