Paul’s Answer

Much of successful scholarship attainment, has to do with where you look for the scholarships. They can come from two primary sources, either private or public. One area people might not know about is the College Foundation option, at local colleges and universities.

College Foundations connect many of their scholarships to specific subjects, activities, majors, ethnicities and classifications. These are normally scholarships, that are supported by private individuals or businesses.

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, science subjects, engineering or radiology, or students who might be of a certain 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.

Lorenzo’s Answer

Finding money for college might seem tough, but it's definitely possible. Start by checking out local community organizations near your college, like the YMCA, churches, or other community groups. They often offer scholarships for students. You might need to sign up or join a group, but this can lead to financial support. Getting involved could be as simple as volunteering at a soup kitchen, mentoring young people, or supporting a local cause. When I was in college, I got scholarships from the YMCA for my volunteer work with youth. These opportunities are likely still available. So, ask around in your community. You might have to join several groups to gather all the funds you need, but it's worth it.
