#6--Community and Work

Foundation, Company, Religious Organization Grants



Foundation Grants

- grants offered by private nonprofit foundations.   Ask your school district personnel about local foundation grants.

            Example:  The ICCSD Foundation

Company Grants

- Ask your parents or guardians if their employer has any programs for the children of their employees.  There are some out there.

            Example: Allegheny County Bar Asso.

                               --If you are employed, maybe your employer offers scholarships
            
            Example:  McDonald's

Church or Religious Organizations

-Some religious organizations offer scholarships to their members and families.

            Example:  Catholic Aid

Try other names in place of "Catholic" or "McDonalds" or "ICCSD"  in the above examples using the same formula. 

"[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.
There is something for everybody if you look and try hard enough.

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"
