It's part of your application.   There are, however, scholarships given by organizations that are not schools.  It is your responsibility to find and to apply for those.

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!

It is a bit too late to find scholarships for the spring semester except for FAFSA.ed.gov. It takes time to hear back from private scholarship boards. However, I will list several free membership scholarship websites, and I recommend joining several of them.

Some other areas are to check locally with professional women's groups, community foundations and also check your library or university library.  There is a big blue book that lists scholarships, grants and fellowships that is put out every year.  Your librarian will know what I am talking about.    Also look for areas such as essay contest and such that provide money too.  There are typically two times,at the university level for undergraduate money to be given, when you enter as a freshman and also at your junior year (normally when you are in more of your major classes.  Talk with the Dean's office on scholarships to apply for that are only offered to students of that college.  Financial Aid should also have a list of these.  March 1st is usually the time next years applications are due.  I am speaking from personal experience since I have worked for three universities.

I am a freshman at a North Carolina university and I am not having to pay for college simply because i knew how to get scholarships.  All you have to do is take a trip your guidance counselor and ask for every scholarship form they have on hand. Then after you have those filled out and sent in go back and ask for more because many scholarship forms come out at different times. Do whatever you can; write letters, get recommendations; call scholarship committees, and request interviews. I'm sure if you are persistent in this and try hard you will do it with these simple idea's...Good luck!

You should be looking at a variety of sources to seek outside scholarship help. I know you are looking for one source but you could miss out on some scholarships that might not be listed on that particular website because they do not have a web page devoted to it. Also, it takes time once you apply for consideration for a scholarship to hear back from them.\n\nFirst, check with the financial aid office and website because they list private scholarships from outside sources such as organizations and companies. Also, sometimes your major's website might list some scholarships.\n\nSecond, check with your local library for a scholarship listing book. There are scholarships out there that are not listed on the web.\n\nThird, check with your employer or your parents's employers to see if they offer a scholarship program or help for college students.\n\nFinally, join several free scholarship search websites because a scholarship might be listed with one website but not another. Most are updated on a regular basis. Most offer a customized search.\n\nGood luck!

You don't have to pay to apply for a scholarship. If someone asks for money up front it's most likely a scam.\nBut it takes a lot of research and time so just apply where ever you can.\n\nHere are two scholarship information sites.\n\nhttp://www.scholarships.com/\n\nhttp://www.finaid.org/scholarships/\n\nAlso you can go to the website of the universities that you're interested in and look up any scholarship information they have or call their front office to ask.
