great idea for the thread. fellow c/o'08ers, i'm sure we'll be swamping this thread .. once everyone starts panicking haha

WHERE CAN WE GO FOR INFO / RESOURCES FOR SCHOLARSHIPS ?

other than collegeboard & fafsa !!

i'm totally flippin' out about scholarships. WHERE ?? WHAAT?? HOW ?

[魚燕往返]

I know fastweb have alot of scholorships, but I think alot of people already know.

[uninfatuated]

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

[elisa*]

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

[theanonymousafro]

Thanks for links. I just got a list of some sites a few days ago, I'll post them if I can find it.

[satisfaction!]

wheee thank you reallyAmused for those great links
I'll edit my first post by putting the links you've provided on there :]

[reallyAmused]

^ 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 ): 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

[sockrahtease]

thanks for this thread! it'll be useful for me.

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.

[ritzy!]

thanksssssss. siiiiiiiiiigh.
i think by the time december 31st 2007 passes, my hair is going to be white.

For No. Cal people:

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.

[g-yo]

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.

[JiNi;]

where can you find local scholarships?

[gwendolyn]

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

This is genius. Thanks everyone.
