Student Scholarship Search, a free Directory of Scholarships, Grants and Awards, has just published
'Scholarship Searching Secrets," a tremendously useful overview of tips, advice, and tools available to parents and students searching online for scholarships and financial aid. It also covers information about the FAFSA, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, that all college-bound students must submit to apply for financial aid each year (including students already in college applying for financial aid). This guide was compiled by Christopher S. Penn of FinancialAidPodcast.com.
Try searching for college financial aid information relative to your state of residency in SPIDO, the State Policy Issues Database Online, sponsored by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education. You can search this database by state for critical information on student financial aid, tuition and fees, residency requirements, and other relevant policies regarding colleges in your particular state. We think you will find it quite useful.
