Finding And Winning Scholarships
By Daniel Kane
Maybe you're not the potential All-American college coaches dream about.

Maybe your grades do not reflect your real academic potential.

And, maybe you have not held leadership positions in school clubs and activities.

So, you're a pretty bad bet for a college scholarship, right?

Not so fast. In fact, you may qualify for a number of scholarships. But, you have to do some research.

First, go to your guidance counselor. Chances are, he or she will have information on dozens of scholarships (or more) offered by businesses and organizations in and near your hometown, and how to apply for them.

After that, put together a listing of businesses and organizations with which you or a member of your family are affiliated. Where do you and they work? What house of worship do they attend? What clubs or organizations do they participate in? With any luck at all, you will find that these businesses and organizations offer scholarships, some of which are based on affiliation, not academic achievement.

And, don't forget the internet. You can try matching yourself to millions of dollars in scholarships by using one of many free scholarship searches.

The more you look, the more you'll find not just standard scholarships for academic achievement, but also scholarships for students affiliated with particular groups, students whose family members work for a particular company, students who wish to enter specific professions, and scholarships in dozens of other categories.

You will also discover essay writing and other academic contests you can enter to win scholarships.

There are millions of dollars awarded to students every year. To maximize your chances of winning one, do some research, follow all application instructions exactly, and meet all applicable deadlines.

Good luck!
