Fill out a profile on:

Be specific in completing your profile, they will email you scholarships that match your profile.
Search the web combining relevant words for your specific situation.
- If you are studying accounting and you are woman, search "women accounting scholarships"
- Remember to search using words specific to your situation: gender, ethnicity, race, religious affiliation, financial need or merit based, etc.
- Contact local groups you are affiliated with and ask if they have a scholarship or sponsor program. Examples of organizations would be:
- Service Groups (for example: Rotary, 4H, Lions Club, Masons, Cities Youth and Family Programs)
- Religious Organizations
- Interest Clubs (for example: MOPS, PEPS, Art Clubs, Music Clubs, Martial Arts organizations, anything you are currently affiliated with)
- Heritage Organizations (for example: Daughters of the American Revolution, UNCF)
