You will have to create an e-mail account so that scholarships that match you – your intended major, your religion, your ethnicity – can be sent to you.

NOTE: Do not pay for scholarships or scholarship searches. If the organization is asking for a fee forget about it! Finding money for college is time consuming but well worth it! Speak with the financial aid office of the colleges and universities your student is considering. All schools have funds available. The old adage is true, ‘The early bird catches the worm’ – and gets financial assistance! Get those applications rolling!
