Finding Scholarships At Your College

Host: How do I find scholarships at my college?
Brad Burnett: Finding scholarships at your college is going to be varying from school to school. So, the best place to start is probably going to be financial aid office but it s important to understand each school is going to be different. When you start with the financial aid office hopefully you are able to get some assistance from there. But they may not be the ultimate place you go. You also want to check with your academic department, there are some departments in the universities who award scholarships and are responsible for them all by themselves and financial aid office plays no role determining who gets that money. You may also want to check with the admissions office if you are perspective student because there are some admissions offices who award scholarships to new students. You may also want to check with specific programs on your campus. For ex: if you are an honors student and your campus has an honors program, you may want to check with the honors program to see if they offer any money. If you are an athlete, check with the athletics office. The bottom line is you have to do a lot of search and a lot of digging hopefully there is an office that you can start with to get a coordinated attack often times that’s the financial aid office.
