I suggest getting a book of scholarships from your local bookstore or library–go in and ask for a scholarship book. You’ll have plenty of options.

Next, find the criteria you are meeting. Are you a woman who is going into the science field? A nontrad student? There are special scholarships that just require paperwork for those special people.

Most scholarships will require you to do something and submit SOMETHING, whether that be an essay or a photo project. With most you have to show that you are worthy of the scholarship.

Also, you’ll need your teachers to give you letters of reference to these places.

Also, look at the school you want to attend. See what scholarships they have to offer.

All scholarships have a different deadline, but it’s never too early to start to prepare.

if you’re going from highschool to college – talk to people at both the highschool and college. Counsellors should have most of that information.

Most post secondary institutions have departments that deal with helping students get scholarships. Alot of scholarships do have an essay portion to them, or they may just be for students that are connected to the company/group giving out the scholarship. For example – McDonalds has scholarships for their employees…

If you belong to any clubs or your parents do, you may be able to apply for a scholarship from there, talk to them about it and see.

Best of luck, because scholarships are basically FREE MONEY!
