What is the best way to find local scholarships even when going out of state?

I am going to a college out of state, but many local scholarships require me to go in state. Many national scholarships I do not qualify for.

Paul’s Answer

College Foundations connect many of their scholarships to specific subjects, activities, majors, ethnicities and classifications.

You might find scholarships for students who are first generation college students (neither parent has a college degree), students who are focusing their major on teaching, engineering or radiology, or students who might be hispanic in ethnicity.

Most of the time potential applicants can find nearly anything that fits into a classification or subject that defines them or their future goals.

All colleges and universities have foundations that offer scholarships. I would log into the website (of the college you are attending or wishing to attend), and research the ones which apply to you and your particular interests.

Ankita’s Answer

Look for scholarships offered by local businesses, nonprofits, community foundations, or your high school—they sometimes allow students to use the money at any college, even out of state. Also, check with your future college’s financial aid office; they often have lists of outside scholarships. Don’t be afraid to ask small organizations directly—they sometimes have flexible rules if you explain your situation. Every little bit helps!
