Outside Scholarships
There are millions of dollars available to students in the form of outside scholarships. They take a little more time and effort to get, but the rewards can be great. Outside scholarships are a wonderful resource to help make up the difference between your financial aid and your bill.
We highly recommend that students apply for as many outside scholarships as possible. There are outside scholarships for every type of student. Students should research and apply for outside scholarships every year of their academic career. You should never pay for a scholarship search-- all scholarship information is available free, most on the Internet.
Below are links to several outside scholarship resources. The Office of Enrollment Services also makes announcements via email and in the student newspapers, when we learn of new scholarships which are available.
