How to Look for Money
There are some misconceptions about scholarships and how to receive a scholarship. First off, Federal Financial Aid is NOT scholarship money. Scholarships are usually funds that have been donated for educational purposes and are tied to certain fields of study or are in association with certain groups. Some scholarships are given simply for being a high school graduate pursuing a post secondary degree while other scholarships require essays or portfolio presentations.
Please check out some of the following links for additional scholarship information:
California Student Aid Commission
College Board Scholarship Search
College Connection Scholarships
…and the list goes on and on. Please contact your Financial Aid Officer for a full list of other scholarship organizations.
