I am entering senior year of high school but I am wondering what are ways of getting financial aid besides through FAFSA. What are some good scholarship sites?

Best Answer:

Finding scholarships on the internet is great, but I helped my son win scholarships by using other sources in addition to the internet. Scholarship books that are categorized by major, race, club affiliation, interests, etc... are an amazing way to find scholarships. Also, get lists of local scholarships from your high school guidance counselor. Sticking just to the internet is a mistake that many high school students make in their quest to find scholarships. My son won over $20,000 in scholarships!!! You can find more help with scholarships here: www.how2winscholarships.com Good luck! :)
