Start Simple and Local

The hunt for education funding can seem intimidating, especially as an adult with many demands on your time.  Use your browser search to look for scholarships:

• Where you live – look for foundations in your city, county, or region that offer funding to local residents
• Where you work – check your professional organizations, your employer, and your family member’s employers for scholarship opportunities
• Where you serve – see if the community organizations, religious institutions, and other non-profits where you volunteer have funding for education

Try a Search Engine

You can expand your search to include other demographic information, like race or ethnicity, veteran/military status, or other keywords.  Use search engines to match scholarships to your demographic information.

Remember – Watch out for financial aid scams.  You should never be asked to pay for scholarship applications.
