A basic web search for the word “scholarship” yields nearly 200 million results. Many parents—particularly those with minimal or no need-based aid eligibility—are counting on scholarships to reduce their children’s college costs. But with so many options, most families don’t know how to efficiently find scholarships for their children. This program will streamline the scholarship search process, teaching you how to:
- Understand the difference between college-based and privately funded scholarships
- Strategically develop a college list to maximize college-based scholarship funding
- Identify the best sources of outside scholarships and avoid scams
- Organize the scholarship application process
- Fit scholarships into an overall college finance plan
