i heard that fastweb, although popular, isn't the best thing to use when searching for scholarships. people i have talked to said they've applied for scholarships they found on fastweb and have not gotten anything in return. too many people use fastweb so therefore there are a lot of applicants to each scholarship and that lowers your chances of getting anything.

try local scholarships, not nation wide ones becuase more people apply for those. but of course i haven't started applying for scholarships yet sweatingbullets.gif

Everyone suggests Fastweb (especially the teachers in our school >_<) but to be honest it confuses the heck outta me x_x I can never find what I want and they keep giving me stuff I'm not eligible for...o_o

Great topic, btw!!

If you're Korean and you live in the LA area, I suggest looking through the newspaper from time to time. My mom always gives me clippings from the Korean newspaper with a list of websites and stuff that are offering scholarships..>_< but I never do them XD

^ no problem, I just wish that I had saved more of the sites that I used so that I can tell you guys about it.
But I dug and found this one on student loans: http://www.nela.net/aboutstudentloans/defa...mp;default=true
And here's this Tuition Cost Calculator that I thought was cool (but never used sweatingbullets.gif ): http://www.princetonreview.com/college/finance/tcc/
For the calculator I don't know if you need an account or not to use but getting an account there is free smile.gif

For financial aid, do they still give you some amount of money if you take under the required full-time student unit? (12 units minimum) cause I have to work and the classes I have to take won't fit my schedule =( I'm thinking of taking just two classes..I know, probably not? Hope this is the right section to ask. By the way, I've always recieved FAFSA but I was a full-time student then.

Kaiser Permanente Asian Association Scholarship Program

Scholarships are only for those living or attending a high school in the Northern California Kaiser Permanente Service Area.


It seems quite competitive, but it's worth a shot.

HAHA WOAH. The Kaiser Permanente Winners for 2007 are people from my school!
They're twins and they're crazy smart. Interestingg....
I don't know about scholarships, but if you look up NASSP Student Contests and Activities in google or yahoo, you can find a bunch of sites that you can apply and compete and win money...
I guess it's more of a contest thing, but you get A LOT of money from some of the contests.

i think local scholarships should be posted in your local newspaper, library, or high school (ask the guidance counselors).

ANy Canadian, scholarships? Most I've seen are limited to US =(

There`s a whole lot more if you try searching and there`s usually some that are local too. =)
