Find College Scholarships

College scholarships are an important way to help finance your college education, be it at Harvard or elsewhere. There are many places to look for scholarships:
  • Counselor's Office: A great place to start! Most guidance counselors will maintain filing cabinets with scholarship information. They will also typically be the exclusive location for information on school and local scholarships.

  • Local Community Groups: Are you involved in a community group? Are your parents? Such groups often award scholarships to deserving local high school students who are somehow affiliated with them.

  • Parents' Employers: Same idea as local groups.

  • The Internet: Many websites like FastWeb have college scholarship information. The downside to such sites though is that everyone sees the same information, so either you will not qualify for the scholarship, or the competition is fierce.
