Parents and family members of High School Students:
 
Many high school students are receiving letters of acceptance from colleges and 
universities.  Now is the time to search for possible scholarships to assist in 
paying for that college education.  Check out the sites below for information 
about financial aid.  In some instances, you may have to do additional research 
to find one that fits the student.
 
I will try to send additional information as I receive it.

are a vast array of search terms to help find scholarships specific to a 
person's needs.

6.  After signing up for an account, you can search for scholarships based on 
state, ethnicity, race, religion, major, and there is an advanced search option.

7.  South Carolina's Information Highway (SCIWAY)  provides a financial aid 
directory for South Carolina residents.

In addition to the above sites, check your local churches, community service 
organizations, fraternities and sororities, and local college alumni 
associations for additional scholarships.  Oftentimes, students can speak to 
their employers to see if the company has a scholarship available.  You can 
also do a search for scholarships related to the student's major and/or 
interests.
