Outside Scholarships

Do you want free money for tuition? If you are willing to do some searching and write a few essays, there are millions of dollars in scholarship funds available each year.

While grants are relatively easy to find and secure, scholarships require a little more effort and research. National, state, and local scholarship funds are available through public and private sources. Various websites offer assistance and contacts, and your high school guidance counselor also is a good resource.
