Private Grants & Scholarships
The Financial Aid Office strongly suggests that students research and apply for any private funding sources for which they may be eligible. There are a number of organizations that will provide scholarship search services free or for a nominal fee. Check with your state department of education, your high school guidance office, or the public library in your area. You may also find scholarship information using the Internet, such as FinAid.org. We recommend using extreme caution when using search services that require a fee or when releasing personal information via the Internet.
