Always on the lookout…
for newer and neater scholarships. Or for many of you, just scholarships that are available. After some additional research, I found 22 different websites that provide services and/or offer actual scholarships. Check these out and hopefully will provide you with another reason to go to college and attain your degree.
Some of these sites I’ve mentioned before, but the magazine I read ASCA School Counselor published this list and this magazine has provided some past reputable information that I tend to trust a lot more.
I also have published numerous posts about various types and styles of scholarship search engines, as well as actual scholarships, yes even the weird ones! Go through this list to see what might still be available for you, including these top read posts!
