Introduction

Finding a scholarship can be a very difficult thing to do. Finding a scholarship that suits your individual needs can be tough too. Finding a scholarship that provides you with all of the resources that you need to attend college for two, four or any number of years is nearly impossible and equally implausible. So, when you sit down to do a scholarship search, you always have to be realistic. Consider all the opportunities that might suit you and don’t focus in too much on the dollar amounts that are given. (Sometimes one scholarship opportunity will lead to another.) A two hundred dollar scholarship might not be very impressive in dollar amount, but it can be more valuable to you than just helping you pay for school, it may also open up doors for you in your college life or your desired profession.

Every avenue that you pursue when looking for a scholarship should focus on who you are and what you have accomplished in your life. Accomplishments not only include those things that you have done in the world around you; volunteer work, awards, community service, learned and developed skills, but they should also include things that you have done in your own personal life; raise a family, overcome obstacles and stumbling blocks, traverse great distances or spans of time to re-invest in your education. Lots of organizations are looking to reward a compelling story as much as they are looking to reward great grades and valuable service to the community and the world.

Potential is a powerful motivator to scholarship boards, who review applications. Someone with great potential can inspire a scholarship reviewer to give them the award, by impressively relaying their story to them in a personal statement or a scholarship essay. Both are tools in the process that help to make you more understood by the readers and better qualified to receive some financial support. So, always be sure to write an honest, forthright and well thought out essay/statement that illustrates who you are, where you have been and where you hope to go. (Always include where you hope to study, what you plan to do with the funds and how they will help you to get to the places you want to go in your life and educational career.)

All of that being said you may not find a scholarship that fits you in this packet, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t one out there for you. There are resources available in this booklet and at the college to assist you in your search, but ultimately you will have to put in the time and the effort, doing some research, applying to some offices/programs/sites and looking diligently for that scholarship or scholarships that you, yourself might be best qualified for. You are the best advisor for yourself when it comes to looking for aid for college, because you are the only person in the world who knows who you truly are, what you have done concretely and what you need to go after your goals, dreams and desires. Good luck in your search.
