Scholarships and Grants

Scholarships and grants don't have to be repaid. Scholarships are awarded for all kinds of reasons, including:

• Financial need
• Special interests
• Religious or community affiliations
• National heritage

Apply for as many scholarships as you can. Thousands of dollars in scholarships go unawarded each year. All of these can be good sources for scholarships:

• Your high school guidance counselor's office
• Any clubs and organizations to which you belong
• Your church
• Your employer, or your parents' employers

Grants are awarded on the basis of financial need. The government awards over $1 billion in grants annually. Your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) serves as the application for Federal Grants.
