1) Do your homework. Take advantage of the free online scholarship search engines. You could be eligible for over 1,000 scholarships from a variety of sources. Be precaution about sites; don’t be quick to give out personal information.

2) Don't limit yourself. Visit your local library to find scholarship directories that list awards based on age, state of residence, cultural background, and field of study.

3) Search in your military community. Many service aid organizations and associations, like the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society, offer scholarships, grants, and low interest loans to help cover education expenses.

4) Its never too soon to start your scholarship search. Many scholarship application deadlines are as early as one year in advance.
