Finding Scholarships
Where
do you begin looking for scholarships? Absolutely everywhere! Tell
everyone that you know that you are looking for scholarships. Word of
mouth is such a powerful tool. I certainly am not privy to every single
scholarship out there – there are thousands. However, I am able to give
you resources for many and places where you can look for more.
At Westview, we place an importance on scholarships. It is just as
important for me to see you winning scholarships as it is for you. I
have experience not only working on the side of getting scholarships for
you, but also for myself. I know what it’s like! So I send out a lot of
announcements for scholarships I have, whether they are exclusive to
Westview, to San Diego or beyond. All you need to do is sign up for a
Naviance Family Account and you will
start to receive scholarship announcements through your inbox. It’s that
easy! Throughout the school year I will be sending out announcements one
at a time and you may delete as necessary.
In addition to what I have, there are many free scholarship search
sites. I must warn you that there are many national scholarships in
these databases, many of which I have already accessed and researched.
However, if you would like to sign up for these services, below is a
list to get started:
www.absolutelyscholarships.com
www.college-scholarships.com/
www.collegeanswer.com
www.fastweb.com
www.finaid.org/scholarships
www.guaranteed-scholarships.com
www.scholarships.com
You may also obtain scholarships from the Choices program. You will need
to set up a portfolio name and password.
