The more you have saved, the less aid you get. My dad, for example, has a well-paying job and there is no possible way that the government would give us aid. \nA good way to help him get scholarships in the long-term is if he did a sport he knew really well. There was a girl at my high school who won state 3 times, and broke state records in swimming. She ended up getting a full scholarship to The University of Notre Dame to swim. If he puts his heart into a sport he really likes, something similar may happen.

Bursaries are based on need. \nScholarships are based on previous performance/abilities.\n\nGood luck with your studies!

Most educational awards are sent directly to the college or educaitonal institution. In all my years of administering scholarships I have never seen an education grant given to a student to use for anything not related to education.\n\nContact the donor directly and specifically state what you plan to do with the money instead of education costs. It will be up to the benefactor to decide to award it to you.

This sounds oddly worded.\n\nMy kids have gone to a private school most of their lives, and most of the tuition is used for operational costs- building expenses, salaries (a big chunk), etc.\n\nAll of the schools they have been to have several students on scholarships, but then there is still money coming in- a scholarship for $500 means the school GETS $500 from whoever issued the scholarship.\n\nThe bigger problem is when the schools adjust the tuition to meet the families income. For low-income families, this means an operational shortfall that has to be made up in someother way. Anotehr concern is those families that for whatever reason do not meet their tuition obligations.\n\nThe schools I am involved with try to fill in the income gaps with assorted forms of fundraising, such as:\n- golf tournements or other sporting events\n- product sales\n- auctions and banquets\n- inter-class challenges (penny wars, etc.)\n- garage sales\n- grant writing\n- estate planning\n- and so forth.\n\nUnfortunately, the formula is easy- you either need to raise tuition rates, reduce operational costs, or find extra money in the community.\n\nThe last is the most common answer, but the toughest. You can try for a few 'big ticket' fundraisers, or a lot of small fundraisers, or a combination of the two.\n\nOne solution I have seen tried (but not at my kid's schools) was for the school to host evening and weekend classes for adults. The plan is like this:\n- Parents, etc. who have a skill or something to teach let the committee know about their interest and figure out how many classes, how long, etc.\n- The committee offers a catalog of classes for people who are interested, and publishes a price per class or course.\n- The committee and the school provide places for the classes, and provide operational support.\n- The instructor gets a share of the money raised for their class, and the school gets the the rest.\n\nSupposedly, the school gets a nice chunk of money out of this and has been doing it for years.

There are several helpful sources to locate scholarships and grants for colleges from different organizations and companies. All of these sources are free.\n\nFirst, the high school guidance office is a great source for a high school student to find local scholarships available to its students.\n\nSecond, college financial aid offices and website has a list of private scholarships from companies and organizations. Sometimes a college major's information website might have a listing of scholarships available, too.\n\nThird, search Google.com and Yahoo.com for scholarships based on race, religion, ethnicity, and college major.\n\nFourth, some pretty big name companies also offer scholarships for particular fields. For example, Tylenol has scholarships for the health professions.\n\nFifth, some employers offer scholarships or help extend the knowledge of its employees such as McDonalds. Also, some professional organizations offer scholarships.\n\nFinally, join several free membership scholarship search websites. Most are updated on a regular basis. Often, they offer customized scholarship searches based on the information you enter into the form.\n\nGood luck!

Be prepared to make up some B.S. They will ask you all sorts of questions like, "How have you had a positive affect on your community?" and "What will you do in college to demonstrate leadership?"\n\nWhoever is the biggest suck-up will get the scholarship. Probably some upper-middle class suburbanite who doesn't need the money anyways.

there r no as such free Intl universities in US. but if u wish to pursue doctoral studies, nd meet the uni`s requirements, most of them offer funding, stipends, tution waivers and health insurance coverage. so in a way it becomes free. also, if u have been an exceptional student, u may be covered by full scholarship, either from ur country or from the US.

Depends if your going to take an advanced degree in a university that does research.  In research universities, i.e. MIT, Stanford, Harvard, ..., the school pays you to do research meaning the tuition is covered and there is some left for living expenses like housing and meals.  I'm from MIT and only undergraduates pay for tuition and people taking their MBA's. BTW, MIT gives aid based on need and not ability - they figured you made it there so you're just as good as anyone who made it there.

Many universities offer funds. Also try scholarship websites.

There are lots of scholarships available all over the place.  Some are based on academic achievement and some are based on need.\n\nI cannot get any kind of scholarship because I have no academic achievement and no need.  You might have better luck.\n\nI am an idiot and people call me a moron, and that might have something to do with it too.

If they can get good scores on the ACT or SAT, they can get money that way.  If they are from poor families, they can get federal money (go to the FAFSA website, fill out forms, submit to colleges).  There are scholarships if they can prove a disability (even a mental disability), like if a psychiatrist had to treat them for depression and other problems.

I got a bunch in scholarships (National Merit scholar, state academic scholarship, high school scholarship), and I graduated a semester early (thus earning money for a semester instead of spending it - which just about paid for my previous semester, too).  I didn't qualify for financial aid, but that would have been nice :-)

There is no such thing as a scholarship for this sort of university course, sorry.\n\nThe best you can hope for is support from your government.
