**Where are the Scholarships?
The largest amount of scholarship money is awarded directly from the college or university. This is the best (and easiest) place to start when searching for scholarship opportunities. We encourage you to visit the websites of each college you are applying to learn about their scholarship/grant opportunities and need-based aid. Pay close attention to the due dates and whether there is an additional application requirement to be considered for merit-based scholarships. Many institutions also require you to complete the FAFSA and/or the CSS profile to be considered and may also have a deadline.
