ATTENTION: Info for Over 50 Scholarships and Grants for College Students at ANY Institution!


Here's a list of over 50 scholarship opportunities (including major scholarship sites) for students who are already matriculated in a college or university, or looking to attend college soon. Please click the links for detailed information (we have not checked all of the links for accuracy, and therefore can't state that every scholarship or grant opportunity listed is legitimate. We are, however, familiar with most of the organizations listed, so if the link seems wonky, please Google the website and start the search from scratch.)

Before you start, please check out FAFSA On The Web, your key aid website (a FAFSA must be completed for all college or university students looking for ANY kind of aid). The correct link may be accessed here: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/
