Scholarship Resources

[Celestino]

Just wanted to share some scholarship resources for our high school and college chicanos/chicanas out there. Please feel free to share any other resources if you know of them.


This list was created through a TRiO program at a University in California. - click here to download the excel spread sheet


Scholarship for HS seniors in AL, AR, FL, GA, IA, IL, IN, KY, LA, MS, MO, NC, SC, TN, TX, and VA pass the word around if you know of someone who can applyhttp://promo.regions.com/RidingForwa...BBFEE64764825C

Below, please find two PDF summaries from the Educators for Fair Consideration (E4FC) organization. The first field is comprised of scholarships that do not require student social security numbers. The second expounds on 2011-2012 guidelines for financial aid subsidies that would be relevant for the wide swath of students, including AB540. It's somewhat basic but updated for this forthcoming academic cycle.

This isn't a scholarship but it is an opportunity for High School Juniors


__________________________________________________ _______

Ologie is embarking on an exciting new project: The Ologie Student Union.

The Union will consist of a panel of 24 high school juniors who will help us view the college admissions process through the eyes of students and help us get smart about what drives the college decision-making process. We’ll also use this platform to gain insight about parents and guidance counselors.

We're seeking a diverse group of students to serve on the panel. So if you know of anyone who might be interested, then please forward them the following link: http://ologie.com/studentunion/

Students have the opportunity receive up to $900 for participating.

You need FAFSA to go to any college in order to get any kind of financial aid or loans. Make sure you go to www.fafsa.ed.gov and not any other site that may try and charge you in order to complete your FAFSA


These aren't scholarships but they are great Math resources from basic algebra to advance Calculus

[iluvskittles]

Thanks! I already know that.. for what did you think I applied fafsa for?
they don't charge ... nor you have to pay them back...
