I did not graduate high school and years latter went and got my GED. then went on to college. Chose the college you want to attend and they will help you find the grants and fill out the paperwork. I know it is overwhelming for someone who has never done it before and NAU was great in helping me out.

Excellent  grades.  You could get in a elite college if you maintain those types of grades.  Well done high school\nstudent!

Yes, go to scholorships.com I think. Just type in the keywords on google or yahoo search. Or, you can search on the website for a specific college you want and call and talk with a academic counselor or enrollment counselor. I am out of high school now but that is what I did and an enrollment counselor led me through the ENTIRE process of filling out forms for Student Aid and everything. Just make sure you in full understanding of what you are getting into. Always ask for Grants, because with student Aid you have to pay it back. They will lead you through whatever you need to do and fill out. Searching early is great because you have time to decide what college you want to go to.

Try taking the ACT or SAT.  If you score high, you may be eligible for some scholarships, depending on how high.\n\nAlso, many who do not qualify for Pell Grants still can get student loans, which do not need to be paid back as long as you are in school at least half time (6 semester hours).\n\nDid you go to the FAFSA website and apply for federal aid yet?  If not, do that first.

Just fill our the FASFA. You may pick up a form @ the financial aid department of any college/university. After you fill this out you may find that you are automatically signed up for grants. You don't have to pay back grants. The FAFSA is also the root of qualification for most SCHOLARSHIPS... You need to meet a certain need in order to get financial help that is available @ your financial instituation. Financial aide will usually let you know what you qualify for if you ask... after you get back the paper work from Financial Aide, of coarse. I had to learn all this the hard way since I was the first in my family to go to college... Let me know if you need further help.

The  best place to find  merit scholarships is  the  scholarship office at the  college or university you plan to attend.  After you've contacted that office, you should also work through your local sources:  your  or your parents' employers, fraternal organizations in your area (Lion's Club, etc.), your church/diocese/synagoge, your youth  group/athletic team sponsor/coach, your high school counselor and your high school principle.  Then visit your local library and browse through their reference books on college grants or go online and search for grants at sites such as www.fastweb.org.\n\nBest of luck!

don't worry about past mistakes, there are grants for everyone. i've given this same advice to like 3 other people. the best place to start is at your local library or bookstore. look for an author named Ben Kaplan. he delivers the easiest to read system for finding scholarships and grants and the grants and scholarships in his book almost everyone qualifies for. plus he walks you through each step of applying and even has examples of winners' entries. here's a list of his books.

You have a good chance of receiving grants to cover most or all of your education if you are on welfare, but the catch is that you must have a high enough GPA.  I believe your unweighted high school GPA needs to be 3.0 or above to receive grants.

1) You can go to a good college and get into any program except for any honors program.\n2) Colleges look at your 10-12 grade year grades, your SAT score and references. \n3) Yeah, well if your GPA is above a 3.0. If your essay is good enough and you have great references. \n4) You can get scholarships whenever. If the scholarship is from the school then you should try at the begging of each semester.\nTry fastweb.com also apply for FAFSA\n5) I so wished I would have gone to a community college first. Some people think that it's crazy, but it's beneficial if you have problems in high school and want to continue your education. You can transfer to WHATEVER university you want to after you graduate community college, if your grades are good.\nIt's also good if you don't feel as if you're ready for a big university with classes full of students and want to start out small.

You can try to research the boarding schools you are interested in and see if they offer scholarships, some do off them, but if you are messing up in school you might have to try an online high school such as Penn Foster or James Madison Online, which you do have to pay for those, but make low monthly payments.

You cant get financial aid, you have to pay them in cash or credit

You need to go to the school and apply with a financial aid advisor. I got a loan with no cosigner, bad credit, no job. My loan covers all that my scholarship and grant will not cover.

Rare and waste to look online. You must get a sponsor from your own country. There is no such thing as financial aid for foreigners in the U.S. and scholarships are rare unless you have fantastic grades and background. I'd suggest looking through government sponsorship from your country or work/associate yourself with a company that will pay for your education. It's all about connections. If you live in the U.S. and are a resident then there are better options. If you are in the U.S. you should hit the public libraries and ask for scholarship info. They have books and links.\n\nGood luck!

Are you a senior graduating this year, or are you already in college?  When I was in high school, I made EXTREMELY good grades, but I didn't receive many scholarships (a combo of 3 for my freshman year), so it was kind of discouraging.  The competition between seniors for college scholarships is so intense, it's sometimes ridiculous.\n\nThen, once I was in college, I kept making good grades and applied for scholaships for continuing students the next 3 years I was in school.  These are the scholarships you have to go for if you're serious about getting free money.  APPLY EVERY YEAR.  If your grades are where they should be, you will receive money.  A bachelor's degree is not cheap, but I managed to get out of school with no student loans to repay.  Just keep your grades up and remember that scholarships are for everyone, not just incoming freshmen.

have you filled out the free FAFSA form with the federal government?  there are 3 types of aid you can get after you  get approved. \nThe first one is the Pell Grants  and Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants. Next there are Work study programs that help. Then there are the loans such as the Perkins and Stafford loans and the Parent plus loans that you can get which are based on your parents income\n\nBe leery of scams that finds scholarships for you for a fee.\n The best thing to do is go to your school's fin aid office and see what programs they can help you with.\nBest of luck to you with your studies
