Possible sources of finan- cial aid include grants, work study, scholarships and loans. The first thing that all families should do is complete the Free Applica- tion for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA. By doing so stu- dents will automatically be considered for many federal, state, and institutional grant and loan programs. In California the suggested deadline is March 2. Locally, there are amazing resources to help students and fam- ilies complete the FAFSA on time, including numerous Cash for Col- lege workshops. These events are free and are designed to help stu- dents complete the FAFSA and gain access to financial aid. Held throughout January and February most are hosted at local high school campuses. To view a list of these workshops visit http://www.cal- grants.org/index.cfm?navId=16. Many students are interested in applying for scholarships. While it is true that you will have to do your research and make sure you meet the selection criteria, there are scholarships out there for everyone regardless of grades, income or educational goals – you just have to find them. I often tell students that they should view the scholarship Financial aid, scholarships: Apply, apply, apply 3) The Colleges You Applied To. search and application process as a part-time job. If they do well, many times they may be awarded more money than if they had actually been working a part-time job. There are two facets to being successful at the scholarship process. First, you need to make yourself a strong applicant. This begins in the 9th grade and continues throughout college. All scholarships look kindly at students who have done well in school and are involved in making a difference in their com- munity. Second, you need to be organized with your search. I recommend the fol- lowing resources when students begin the process. 1) Your High School. Many times the counseling center will have a senior bulletin or website that lists all the available scholar- ships. Some campuses even have a staff member or counselor in charge of getting scholarship info out to students. organization like Rotary and The Elks. It is very important to view the financial aid website at any college that you apply to. They will typically have a scholarship application that you can complete. If you have selected a major or career objective you will also want to look at that department’s website to see if they have their own scholarship application as well. Lauren Tingley 4) Scholarship Search Engines. They don’t do all the work for you, but they are helpful. You create a personalized profile and will be emailed links to possible scholarships. Consider cre- ating a particular email address for your scholarship search engine pro- files; check at least weekly, you will get a tremendous amount of mail from these engines. 2) Local Scholarship Resources. There are many local agencies and foundations that provide scholar- ships for students. Some of these include The McConnell Founda- tion, College Options, and service waive admission fees on 17 selected dates throughout 2011. The 2011 fee-free dates will be the weekend of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, today through Monday, National Park Week, April 16-24, the first day of summer, June 21, National Public Lands Day, Sept. 24, and the weekend of Veterans Day, Nov. 11-13.
