Firstly do not think scholarship when talking about graduate school.  Think of teaching, resident and research assistantships.  Schools often waive tuition for graduate students in competitive programs.  There are scholarships and you can look into them.....but they are exceptionally competitive.  If you have high marks and or research related endevors....then apply for recruitment scholarships.  Contact the financial aid office and graduate student office about funding possibilities. Try to find a mentor if you are in a research program....and try to get them to take you as a graduate student.  My mentor will provide all my costs and travel costs once per year.  But apply for graduate assistantships, research assistantships, teaching assistantships or resident assistantships where applicable.

Scholarships.com is a good start, but there is also a book in the public library that has many scholarships that you can apply for just ask the reference librarians where to find a book on scholarships.  The big thing is to get busy applying to as many scholarships as you can.  As your schedule permits of course.

Application deadlines for graduate study are almost always in December, January, or February at the latest.  This is because admissions committees have to meet and decide which students to admit, and which to fund, and then do all the necessary paperwork in order to accomplish these things.  If you can find a program that will let you submit an application at this late date, 1) you can be sure it is not a good program, because obviously it could not get sufficient students to fill its capacity, and 2) you can be sure you would not get any funding, since all funds have already been distributed.\n\nYour only real option is to apply for the 2007-2008 school year.  I wish you every success.

You can apply for fastweb scholarships, but the best thing to do is contact the financial aid office at the schools where you are admitted - they will have a list with the qualifications.  Also, if you do really well on the LSAT, they will usually offer you a scholarship with admittance if you are one of their top applicants.  Also, if you are in the top 10% of your class the first year, many schools will give you money to stay so that you don't transfer out.\n\nAlso, keep in mind, you will make a decent amount of money when you graduate, and should be able to pay off your loans.  Most people just take out toms of loans and do just fine - scholarships are great if you can get them, but not everyone can.

The best thing is to apply several places for money for college. All these sources are free to use and apply for each source. Overall, there are seven sources to locate scholarships and college financial help in paying the tuition bills.\n\nFirst, apply in January or early February at FAFSA.ed.gov for the upcoming fall semester or now for the Spring 2007 semester. It will help you tap into need based financial assistance with the federal government and the college itself.\n\nSecond, search via Google.com or Yahoo.com for your state's college grants because some states have a website devoted to it. If your state is not one of them, search your state government's website to locate it. This is also need based. This can be pretty quick to hear back from them after you apply.\n\nThird, if you are a current high school student, your high school guidance office has a list of local scholarships that you can apply for consideration.\n\nFourth, the college financial aid office and website have a list of private scholarships available from companies and organizations. Sometimes, your college major's information page might have a list of scholarships, too. This will take time though to hear back once you apply for consideration.\n\nFifth, search Google.com and Yahoo.com for scholarships based on your college major, ethnicity, and religion. This will take time though to hear back once you apply for consideration.\n\nSixth, go to the local library and look at the scholarship book. There are scholarships out there that are not listed on the web. This will take time though to hear back once you apply for consideration.\n\nFinally, join several free membership scholarship search websites. Some scholarships might be listed on one but not another source. Most are updated on a regular basis. All offer a customized search based on the information you put into them. This will take time though to hear back once you apply for consideration.\n\nGood luck!

Go to a book store and buy a "Scholarship Book" It may cost $40, but if you get even ONE of those scholarships, it will be  a worthy investment.  Apply for scholarships/grants that are unique and will attract fewer applicants.

There are scholarships out there and many. Some are renewable and some are not. Colleges do offer merrit scholarships if you meet certain criteria and maintain it in areas such as grades. Most outside scholarships are judged by an interview or a written essay. Doing your homework about the organization really helps. I will provide sources for both application tips and locating scholarships. Each of these items do not cost a single penny.\n\nFirst, apply at FAFSA.ed.gov the fall semester before you start college. It will help you tap into need based financial aid from the federal government and the college itself.\n\nSecond, if you are a current high school student, check with your high school guidance office because they have a list of local scholarships and requires only an application to get consideration on receiving it.\n\nThird, 35 states have a websites where high school students can apply for college admission and for state college grants by searching Google.com and Yahoo.com for it. If your state is not one of these states, search your state government's website.\n\nFourth, the college's financial aid website lists private scholarships offered by companies and organizations.\n\nFifth, search Google.com and Yahoo.com for scholarships based on your ethnicity, college major, and religion. There are scholarships out there based on these items.\n\nFinally, join several free membership scholarship websites. Most are updated on a regular basis.\n\nIf a company is promising you guaranteed scholarships for a fee, do not do it. Much of the work can be done by yourself for free. Unless your time is very tight, do not use the service. However, the fee could be better spent.\n\nI did notice from one source I came across that a guaranteed scholarship came from colleges and universities. The student met certain criteria such as grades or being a member of the National Honor Society. There is a list at Guaranteed-scholarships.com. It is a small list of colleges, and the scholarships are listed by college and shows the amount.\n\nGood luck!

the person, government, or company giving the scholarship will most likely have to make a direct payment to the school you will be attending, and you will have to prove that you will be attending that school.   chances are the only way you will ever see a penny of it is if you get a meal plan and eat the money while you go to class...    \nif you were to get payment from someone, government, or company it would be a grant not a scholarship.

write a good essay, tailor each essay to each specific scholarship you're going for, and apply to as many as you can. The wider the net, the better chances of landing a scholarship. talk to your professors and counselor.

You don't just sign up for scholarships, you apply for them.  Go to your library or guidance counselor and ask to see a book on the scholarships available.  Determine what the requirements are, and be sure the student works to meet the requirements.  I don't know any scholarships that will award them before they are to be used, ie you wont get scholarships for a 10th grader to use in college, but the student can certainly work to meet requirements for various scholarships for later use.  Also look at the colleges he or she wants to attend, and see what they are interested in.  There may be low profile sports that will make the student more interesting and there may be scholarship money available through sports... Do your research, and ask colleges what kind of benefits package the student might be eligible for.

Nearly everyone I have talked to about getting graduate school scholarships have referred me to individual schools.  Personally, I found very little information on the internet, but my University's graduate financial aid department was able to help a lot.

http://www.fastweb.com\nAlso fill out your FAFSA at: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov\nApply for EVERY scholarship you qualify for. Also apply to multiple undergraduate institutions that offer a pre-med program, almost ALL do. Some institutions have more financial aid capabilities than others, so once you are accepted to a few you can choose the one that gives you the most aid.

Grants and Federal Loans. Fill out the FAFSA online and check the box that says you are interested in work-study and student loans. You won't have to begin paying them back until 6 months after you graduate. It is how I'm paying for school, as an undergrad Junior you qualify for 10,500 in loans per year I believe freshman get 3500. The true amounts depend also on the state you live in, I think.

1) Do you have the qualifications for admission? (High grades, great standardized test scores, the potential for outstanding letters of recommendation from undergraduate professors.)\n\n2) Do you have the passion? (Graduate study requires passionate interest and investment in a particular discipline.  If you think you can sustain this interest and dedication despite all the fiery hoops one needs to jump through [teaching assistantships, language exams, constant research and writing, qualifying exams, etc.], then perhaps you DO have the necessary passion.)\n\n3) Do you have the tools?  (Are you a solid researcher, strong writer, critical reader, independent thinker, and do you have the potential to produce original scholarship?)\n\n4) Do you have the means?  (Can you present yourself as a sufficiently strong candidate to be awarded support [tuition remission, stipend] by the departments to which you are applying?  If not, do you have either the ready financial means or the willingness to get into major debt pursuing your passion?)\n\nIf you answer these questions in the affirmative, maybe graduate school is for you!
