There are tons of scholarships that go unclaimed each year. Many $400, $500 or $1000 scholarships never even get applied for because people think it's chump change and not worth applying for. Well, get a few of those $500 scholarships and it'll really make a dent in your tuition bill.\n\nDo a search on scholarships, search your major, your ethnic heritage, your town, your parents employers, your employer, hobbies, high school, local chamber of commerce/rotary/ lion's club etc. Left-handed? There is a scholarship out there for you! Older woman returning to school? There are scholarships out there for you. Do combined searches on more than one criteria "hispanic women aviation scholarships" etc.\n\nGo to the library and ask the reference librarian for a reference book on scholarships. They usually have more than one. There are all kinds of scholarships out there, you just have to start applying yourself and make it your summer career to send out letters everyday for scholarships. Good luck!

Go to your local library.  They have general financial aid for colleges.  Make sure you read those carefully, and fill out all the basic forms.\nThey should also have huge books with a lists of scholarships and grants that are available under different circumstances.  Look at all the criteria - your background, your or your family's military background, your residence, outside interests, etc.  Apply to as many as you qualify for, within reason.  Every little bit helps!\nAlso ask your high school counselor for help - not just with scholarships/grants, but with applications, essays, choosing schools, etc.\nAlso ask your college, once you are accepted.

Maggie,\n\nThe short answer is that there are a few scholarships.  Your experience as a diabetic may help you get into some careers where there are more scholarships and tuition reimbursement related to your career. \n\nThe long answer is:  I liked your question so much that I blogged on it at http://www.mydiabetesinformation.com.  \n\nAnother quote:\n\nFrom the journal "Diabetes Care,":\n\nIt behooves\nthe student to contact local resources and\ntheir educational institution to see\nwhether any scholarship money might be\navailable to them. At times, a benefactor\nmay set up a scholarship fund at a college\nor in a local community for someone with\na specific diagnosis such as diabetes.\nThese scholarships may not be advertised\nand may go unused during the years that\nno one applies for them.\n\nHere is a narrow niche, if you play tennis competitively: http://www.wtt.com/charities/default.asp\n\nMaybe you could learn really fast!\n\nSeriously, I like the first suggestion better.  If you do some scholarship searches, you may find a scholarship for students with diabetes.  \n\nThanks for the blog idea.  \n\nMatt

There are a few sources for locating scholarships for free. There are many scholarships out there so do not give up hope of locating one. However, it is pretty competitive.\n\nFirst, I recommend applying in January or as early as you can with FAFSA.ed.gov because it will help you tap into need based financial aid from the federal government and college.\n\nSecond, if you will be attending a college within your state, instate students can get grants if they are a resident of it. It can be located by searching your state government's website.\n\nThird, your high school guidance office, if a currently a high school student, has a list of local scholarships for its students.\n\nFourth, the college financial aid office and website has a list of private scholarships from companies and organizations. Sometimes your potential major will have a list of scholarships listed on its web page, too.\n\nFinally, there are free membership scholarship search websites, and I recommend joining several of them. Most are updated on a regular basis.\n\nGood luck!

Some medical schools offer merit based scholarships/loans.  \n\nHowever, the majority of loans come from federal, private, or university sources based on need.  Each medical school has slightly different requirements for eligibility for aid.  You'll most likely need to fill out a federal student aid application and some statement that shows family/personal contributions (so they can determine how many loans you are eligible for from all sources).\n\nFederal Loans:  \nFederal Stafford Loans\nThe loan is available to eligible citizens and non-citizens. Financial need determines whether the loan will be subsidized or unsubsidized. Medical students may receive a maximum of $38,500. (PER YEAR) Up to $8500 may be subsidized by the federal government.   (In my experience most people do not qualify for the subsized portion of the loans, but you are usually always eligible for the full 38,500 as unsubsidized).\n\nPrivate banks offer loans (supplemental too)- Citibank, Bank of America, and Chase are a few more common lenders.\n\nUsually you have a bank or lender (banks above, Sallie Mae, Med Loans, etc) that will handle the disbursement of all of your loans. \n\nEach medical school determines a total cost of attendence (which includes room, board, books, tuition, other fees, etc).  Your loans can usually not go over this amount.  However, there are some private lenders (with not so great interest rates) that will give you extra loans on top of this.  \n\nMedLoans also offers a "Medex" loan for interview and residency relocation expenses.  The max you can borrow for that purpose  is $12,000 above all other loans.  \n\nThere is so much information about medical student loans and alot of specifics depending on the loan.  There are some that allow you to defer all loans for 3 yrs after you graduate, while others are for your entire residency.  Some give you percentage discounts for consistent payment.  \nI'd recommend you visit www.studentdoctor.net  They have forums and one that is devoted entirely to financial aid.  There are many links there too...about all things medical school :)  \nor http://www.aamc.org/students/medloans/start.htm for info on medloans.\n\nI know it seems intimidating..and I won't lie- it is confusing at times.  Just know that there IS aid available and if you aren't too worried about graduating with alot of debt you can definitely live and attend school on the loans.  I worked the first 2 yrs of my husband's medical school, but we've lived (the two of us and two young children) on our loans for the past 2 yrs.  It was just really important to us that I stay home with the kids.  We've had to cut costs and be very thrifty, but it's definitely dealable.

National Health Service Corps is what you heard about; however, they've had trouble with funding in recent years so investigate them fully.  \nAlso check with your school's FA and admissions offices as well as your undergrad premed adviser.
