Sara,\nWhen I enrolled into the University of Tennessee, I found "the College Blue Book", in the library. It is a reference book, and therefore not eligible to be borrowed.  I found numerous grants, that I applied for and received.  I hope this helps, and good luck.\n\npeace\nCyn

Use Google Scholar (Google it). It's a beta product and you can use it to access academic articles. There should be something there. Also check w/your local library to see what databases they subscribe to. You might be able to access them from your computer.

You can probably find what you're looking for by searching the National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO), the professional association for college business people. You can also look at the job announcements there.\n\nThe link is http://www.nacubo.org\n\nHere is one news item I pulled up from the page, but if you search, you'll find more:\n\nhttp://www.nacubo.org/x8346.xml?s=x40\n\nCarolyn Lawrence\nwww.AdmissionsAdvice.com

Check the resources your college provides for doing that kind of research. \n\nThe library probably has access to databases of scholarly (peer-reviewed) journals, such as Lexis-Nexis or databases with company and financial information such as Mergent-on-line.\n\nAlso, your tuition goes, in part, to pay your librarian. Make them earn their pay. \n\nMost good, academic institution librarians will take your question, ask you some qualifying questions, and shower you with possibilities.

There are many scholarships out there and places to locate financial aid for college. The best thing about it is that most places to locate them are free to search and apply. I always recommend proofreading and researching (check the website about the organization and also their press releases) before writing the essay or having an interview for the essay.\n\nFirst, FAFSA.ed.gov will help a student tap into need based financial aid from the federal government and the college itself.\n\nSecond, if you are student attending high school, the high school guidance office has a list of local scholarships available to its students.\n\nThird, if you are attending a college or university in your state, search the state government website for college grants because most offer need based financial aid. Also, 35 states have a website where high school students can apply for college admission and state college financial aid at the same time.\n\nFourth, search Google.com and Yahoo.com for scholarships based on your race, ethnicity, college major, and religion. For example, certain college majors have organizations offering scholarships for those college students studying it.\n\nFifth, most college financial aid websites and some college majors list private scholarships from companies and organizations not associated with the college.\n\nFinally, there are free membership scholarship search websites. Most are updated on a regular basis. I recommend joining several of them.\n\nGood luck!

Matthew Lesko. But you don't need to buy his book or pay for his program to get information on government grants because the information is FREE.\n\nYou can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nIt is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate including Lesko, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK - lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born.\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.

There isn't one single source, no.  Some donors publicize their awards much more heavily than others... Some don't really do it at all (for example, a company might only make note of their scholarship offerings on their own website or in company literature).  \n\nAmong the most exhaustive resources available to you are (a) internet scholarship searches [FastWeb is the most well-known] and (b) scholarship books such as these: http://www.finaid.org/questions/undergradschol.phtml\n\nFor some more scholarship search engines, try these:\n\nhttp://www.fastweb.com\nhttp://www.srnexpress.com\nhttp://www.scholarships.com\nhttp://www.scholarships101.com\nhttp://apps.collegeboard.com/cbsearch_ss/welcome.jsp\nhttp://services.princetonreview.com/default.asp?RUN=%2Fcollege%2Ffinance%2Fscholar%2FscholInterview%2Easp&RCN=auth&RDN=7&ALD=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eprincetonreview%2Ecom\nhttp://www.collegeanswer.com/paying/content/pay_free_money.jsp\n\nAdditionally, contact the Financial Aid Office at the school(s) to which you're applying and ask if they have a listing.  Many schools do maintain listings of scholarship organizations with which their former/current students have been successful.

Somewhat they would like you to purchase the book as well.\nThe Deans list for college is a better list. You dont need it unless you need validation for your accomplishment, but as a college student (on the deans list) your already on track. \nGood Luck
