Thank you!
Jenna,
the easy way is to start here with a Student Loan Scholarship Search. Hit the ‘Find Free College Money’ link to fill out your profile to see what scholarships/grants are available for you now. It’s a free quick & easy scholarship search that produces good results.
Next, you can contact your state educational department to see what new type of minority scholarships thay have, and ask them for advice on financial aid…especially in your state.
You can also call or go in person to a college by you that you may want to attend & speak to the financial aids office about ‘minority scholarships/grants/fianncial aid’ that are available now. It’s well worth the effort. (tip – call the college finaid office to set appointment then go down & talk face to face with an finaid advisor).
All of the above are things you should do right now. There is some effort involved but all worth it in the long run.
How can I apply for this scholarship?
