Expert Scholarship Information
from Marianne Ragins, $400,000 Scholarship Winner












To help you get started on your scholarship search, you should use the sections in The
Scholarship ToolBox in the following manner:

  • Look at the Scholarship Timeline to get an idea of how you should be organizing
    your time and resources to apply for the maximum amount of scholarships and
    financial aid.


  • Use the Free Scholarship Search section to visit computerized scholarship search
    web sites to get a quick start list of scholarships for which you may be eligible.
    Remember, using the Internet should give you a jump-start on your search. You
    should still search for local and regional scholarships that probably will not be
    on the Web. Smaller scholarships will not be either. The most successful
    students use a combination of the Internet, books, and local research to create
    a personal scholarship application list.

  • Refer to The Scholarship & Aid Programs section to visit specific scholarship
    programs for your situation. For example, if you are a high school student, visit
    the high school section. If you are a high school student and a minority, visit
    both the high school and the minority section. In addition, if you are a student
    already in college or a return-to-college student, there are sections for you also.
    Please note that these sections give you examples and useful resources to help
    you begin your scholarship research. Please do not rely upon them as your sole
    source of research. There may be many more scholarships available to you than
    those listed on this site. In fact, you may find even more programs listed in
    Winning Scholarships for College.

  • Visit the Books & Resources section to find books and resources you should keep
    handy as you start preparing your applications for scholarships.

  • See the Scholarship Tips section to learn common mistakes made by students
    when applying for scholarships.

  • Read the FAQ’s to see common questions and their answers. Some of the
    answers may be helpful to you as you embark on your scholarship quest.
