Money for College

What you want are scholarships. You can get as many scholarships as you need. Are you aware that there are two kinds of scholarships? They are Needs based and Merit based. If you don’t qualify for the Needs based scholarships, you can probably find a Merit based scholarship if you look hard enough. Don't let the Merit part scare you. Most of the Merit based scholarships just want you to write an essay to qualify. These are the ones given by fraternal organizations, veterans organizations and the like. I have even seen them given by retail Business’s. Look first in your local area and then at the State and Federal level. Let everyone you meet know that you are looking for a scholarship, you never know what will turn up. A friend of mine got a $2000 scholarship for his daughter from a foundation that was set up by a person in their will. He found out about it from a friend of his friend. All his daughter had to do was write an essay about why she wanted to go to school. So keep looking, Don't give up.
