Scholarship Search Engines and Scholarship Lists

When researching scholarship opportunities, please BEWARE. Many companies make unrealistic claims about finding scholarship money for students. Before you give your credit card number to someone, read what the Federal Trade Commission is doing to crack down on fraudulent companies at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/menu-jobs.htm The Internet provides a multitude of scholarship search engines. These are especially useful because you can specify information and the site will search for scholarships that fit your specific profile. Though we do not support or recommend one site over another, here is a list of places to start:
