Each college and university usually has something called a "College Foundation" where you can log into, from the college or university webpage and review their financial aid and scholarship assistance.
Private donors and benefactors, support college and university programs, and amongst their financial gifts are scholarships and financial assistance for students.
These scholarships can come in many forms, they can be based on major, future occupation, college or non-profit activities, ethnicity, and other criteria.
So, the college or university College Foundation, is always worth checking, as far as an online option.

Hello,
I know that college costs are going up, and it's normal to worry about paying for it. But don't worry, there are ways to find help!
1) Check if you or your family are part of any local groups, like a church, Scouts, or the National Honor Society.
2) Look into what opportunities these groups might offer for scholarships or financial aid.
3) Talk to your school guidance counselor; they often know about local and national scholarships.
4) Use Google to find scholarships. Websites like www.scholarshipowl.com can be a great start.
5) Ask friends or family who have received scholarships before for advice on where they found theirs.
I hope these tips help you get started. Remember, there are many types of scholarships out there, like academic or athletic ones, so make sure to check the requirements before applying.
Good luck, and I believe you can do this!
