I don't know if this is still offered, but when I went to school in the late 80's, if you signed up to teach for three years in an underserved area like Appalachia, the feds would forgive your student loans.\n\nTalk to the education department about it.

There are scholarships for a lot of bizarre (or at least, non-academic) things.  There does exist a scholarship for left-handed people, though it's specific to a certain school and it's not enough to cover tuition and most (probably any) schools.  You can read about it on Finaid.org (http://www.finaid.org/scholarships/unusual.phtml ) or at Juniata College's website, here: http://services.juniata.edu/news/index.php?SHOWARTICLE+17

You can answer this question without seeming conceited by telling the truth about yourself. The truth, as Walter Brennan once said in an old western movie "Not brag, just fact."\n\nSo, you have to explain why you deserve it. I don't know what the qualifications are to be eligible for the scholarship, and you should be sure to address how you meet those qualifications.\n\nOther than that, talk about why you are a good representative of the middle school, why your use of the money is a good use of the money, and why you have the skills, motivation and attitude to do well in school. Point out any evidence or examples of your motivation, skills or attitudes.\n\nGood luck.\n\nPS: Don't promise points for an answer. Its against the community rules, and we really don't want people to be primarily driven by points. We want people to be good members of the community.

fastweb is the best site. don't go for any sites that ask you to pay money in order to find scholarships.

don't worry about past mistakes, there are grants for everyone. i've given this same advice to like 3 other people. the best place to start is at your local library or bookstore. look for an author named Ben Kaplan. he delivers the easiest to read system for finding scholarships and grants and the grants and scholarships in his book almost everyone qualifies for. plus he walks you through each step of applying and even has examples of winners' entries. here's a list of his books.

Many universities offer funds. Also try scholarship websites.

There are several sources to locate scholarships. However, there are many students trying for some.  Pay attention to their website and customize the application essay based on yourself and the organization itself. Also have several people proofread your essay before submitting for both grammar, spelling and if you get your point across. All of these sources are free.\n\nFirst, the high school guidance office has a list of local scholarships for its current students.\n\nSecond, the college admissions website has a list of private scholarships from companies and organizations. Sometimes, at a college major's website with the school, it will have a list of scholarships available, too.\n\nThird, search Google.com and Yahoo.com for scholarships based on college major, ethnicity, race, and religion.\n\nFinally, I recommend joining several  free membership scholarship search websites. Most are updated on a regular basis. Most have a customized search based on what you put into the form.\n\nGood luck!

Others things to consider is a scholorship.  There are many scholarships that will cover your expenses in college.  One of the most popular one is the Honors scholarship (GPA 3.5 or better).  As your college advisor (your department chair, NOT the college financial aid office, they are dummies) and check if you are eligible for any assistance.

Yes, almost every ethnicity/ religion has some scholarship available to them. Check on the web and at whatever school you're at or applying to

your question is too vague.  there are a lot of scholarships out there, search under his intended major, if you are a single parent, see if your employer offers a scholarship, hobbies, ethnic heritage, etc. etc.  There is money out there.  Don't bypass the small scholarships, they often never get awarded because no one applies for them.  Your local library will have a scholarship referene book.  don't pay anyone to do this for you.  some websites pretend like they have an inside track, but they just take your money for what you can research on your own.  good luck!
