Last week we talked about different options for financing your higher education.  Today I want to look at places that scholarships and grants often show up.

There are hundreds of sources of scholarships and grants–everything from churches and synagogues to organizations your parents might be involved with (employers, military, alma maters, professional associations, unions, fraternal organizations and the like)–so take the time to research your options.

1. Check with your guidance counselor (high school as well as college) to see if your grades or activities qualify you for certain funds.
2. See if the school you’ll be attending offers scholarships for certain fields of study.
3. Pursue location options first.  Generally speaking, the people who already know or are familiar with you, your family and your community are more apt to award funds to you than others are.
