Suggested Sources for Outside Scholarships

There are many resources available for finding sources of outside scholarships.  It takes some time and effort, but can pay off in obtaining money for tuition that does not need to be paid back.

Here are a few suggestions of places to look for scholarship money:

Financial Aid Office
Spend some time researching our grant/scholarship library, located in Financial Aid Office and be sure to check out the bulletin board periodically for new postings.

Public Library
Ask the reference Librarian for assistance in locating the grant/scholarship books.

Books
