Expert Scholarship Information
from Marianne Ragins, $400,000 Scholarship Winner
Even though you may be an older student or returning
to college after a number of years, you should still
conduct your scholarship search just as a younger
student would. This means you should use the
Free
Scholarship Searches and Other Resources sections in
addition to the search strategies in
Winning
Scholarships for College to find college money. Review
Chapter 20, “Scholarships for Non-Traditional Students
– Distance Learners and Adults Returning to College.”
During your search you will find that not only are there
scholarships that do not have age requirements, there
are also scholarships specifically intended for non-
traditional students.
Use the following short list of scholarships to give you a jump-start on your scholarship
search. Please contact each organization to confirm deadlines and eligibility criteria.
Do not use this listing as your sole resource! There may be other scholarships
available to you based on your background, life experience, and specific interests.

To get additional information about the scholarships and awards listed below, visit
the linked web sites or refer to the Appendix of
Winning Scholarships for College for more
information.
Winning Scholarships for College also contains a special section for women
in search of funds to return to college.
