Scholarship Search
When searching for information on scholarships, the internet
is a valuable tool. There are many search engines available that
provide free access to listings of various scholarship, internship,
and program opportunities:
This common search engine is also very useful for searching for
scholarships. Simply go to www.google.com
and type in key words for the database to search for. These key words
should be characteristics that you feel qualify you for a scholarship.
For instance, if you are a female engineering student, you would put "women
engineering scholarships." To get the maximum results, try varied combinations
of these keywords and include synonyms.
This the largest and most complete scholarship search on the Internet.
It provides access to a searchable database of more than 400,000 private
sector scholarships, fellowships, grants, and student loans. Used by colleges
across the United States, FastWEB is now available to you FREE through the World
Wide Web, courtesy of UC Irvine's Scholarship Opportunities Program and FastWEB.com
To use FastWEB, a student fills out a detailed profile through a series of online
forms. After the forms are complete, FastWEB responds within a few minutes with
a list of matching awards. Each entry in this list includes information about
deadlines, eligibility requirements, award amounts, and Contact information for
the award provider.
