Church or Religious Organizations
-Some religious organizations offer scholarships to their members and families.

"[your school district] Foundation"= Example: type in "Chambersburg Area School District Foundation" and you get CASD Foundation.
Try adding to or altering the name or add a state =Example: "Oklahoma Baptist Scholarship" and you get Oklahoma Baptist University.

Some Final Thoughts
+Make sure you read all the fine print on the websites.
+Look for links to other sites of interest.
+Check out the school you plan on attending. Ask others about the school.
+Try to get grants and scholarships rather than loans that you have to pay back.
Some aid is better than NO aid. Try, try, again! Don't give up. A $500 grant/scholarship is better than $0!
May your dreams come true.
Try searching for scholarships from other companies!
Type their name + scholarship
Ex: "Ford + Scholarships"
"Burger King + Scholarships"
