Scholarship Search Services

The College Scholarship Search is sometimes overwhelming. Many students use scholarships to augment financial aid awards provided by their school. Every year, thousands of scholarship dollars go unused because no eligible recipients can be found.

The Internet provides access to hundreds, if not thousands, of different foundations and organizations which provide scholarships. Unfortunately, it would take a small army to actually sift through the results - a recent Google search on the term "scholarships" returned 66.8 million results.

For free services, we recommend our Student Scholarship Search Website at www.StudentScholarshipSearch.com. Updated regularly, StudentScholarshipSearch.com contains many awards and details about how to apply, and best of all, it doesn't require you to give up any personal information in order to search the listings.

We also have a site where you can register to win free scholarship money! ScholarshipPoints.com rewards frequent visitors as well as those who participate in the site's online surveys and contests. Every quarter we award lucky site visitors with free money towards their college or university.

Why Are Scholarships Important?

A scholarship is an award given to a student for the purpose of furthering their education. A scholarship can be a monetary award, or it can be an award of access to an institution. Scholarships are a vital piece of the financial aid system for two reasons:

• They provide money which generally does not have to be paid back
• They provide access to money which students may otherwise be ineligible for

The second point is very important. Many scholarships are merit-based as opposed to need-based. There's a gap in education finance that isn't talked about a lot - the family that isn't poor enough to qualify for federal financial aid, but isn't rich enough to pay the cost of education without assistance. Scholarships can fill this gap along with alternative student loans. Obviously, because scholarships are money that does not have to be paid back, they're preferable to loans.
