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).
