As a struggling College student, every dollar counts... but my bills and loans are adding up at a crazy rate. A friend suggested that I look into some scholarships but my counselors seem to be pretty useless....

I was hoping that out of the intellegent posters on this forum, someone would have some good ideas, info, or resources for me, or anyone in the same boat

ANYTHING would be greatly appreciated!

Learning to spell CollEge instead of collAge in a thread asking for help, might also help. I was confused about someone looking for scholarships for their collage.

Seriously though, there are several scholarships out there for people and it depends on what your finances are, your educational achievements, outside activities, goals, etc.

tyler, try community of science- www.cos.com - where you can create a search profile and explore a few thousands of funding opportunities that the site collects.

or a work/study position at your school.

"College" was properly spelled in the text of the original post (albeit with an unnecessary capital "C".
Let's just attribute it to a typo. We all make them

Mad damn, I can't edit out my stupidity..... oh well, if it made a few of you chuckle at my expense then it was well worth it. Laughing

This is tough, and it seems like student loans are inevitable, but if I can get a few of the easy 1000 loans, I can at least put a dent in what I'll owe.

Heres what Ive found so far, it seems like a good start.

Yeah, but I think that my parents income bracket has something to do with myself not getting much out of it... Maybe I should find out more about it though.

I just wanted to update and thank everyone for their advice, I have been really busy with my pursuits and making some good progress. While only a few panned out so far, I am still optimistic. I really need to find some more easy money like Edit [Moderator]: Link removed, etc, with open ended applications. Most of the others have been such a HASSLE to fill out/apply and then don't let me in.

These responses gave me some much needed insight here.

@maryasefu,
Okay.

People aren't going to just throw money. You need to either be in a specific group (my college gave out scholarships to the most deserving Methodist as the school had started off as Methodist. Wasn't a lot of $$ but there you have it), or show need, or show particular athletic or academic promise. There are exceptions but those are generally the ways that scholarships get awarded.

Now, it's going to be very specific to things like, where you're going to (or planning to go to) school, what you're studying, whether you are male or female, whether you are in any clubs or on any teams, whether you can show need, where you are from (sometimes there are scholarships for Asian students, or people from Woodlawn High School or wherever). Don't overlook places like where your parents work or where you went to High School.

Many, many people want to see deserving students succeed and are willing to help them financially. HOWEVER, notice the two words in that sentence that should leap out at you: deserving and succeed. You're not going to get a scholarship for being cute or for the sole purpose of not wanting to go into debt. People need to know why they should be helping you.
