In desperation I looked online to find scholarships or loans. I found a site that had both and so much more. www.finaid.org is my savior. It is a site that helps you find exactly what a college student needs. It helped me find scholarships based on me and get a loan with low interest rates.
Finaid.com has a scholarship website which leads to you to about 30 other websites based on what you want. It is written out clearly and easy to understand.
It also has a loan, other financial aid area, and financial aid applications. Each area explains everything clearly. It helps every individual, including me, find what they need.
For example:
Free Scholarship Lotteries
Federal and State Government Aid
College-Controlled Aid
Student Profile-Based Aid
Aid for Graduate and Professional School
Aid for Elementary and Secondary School
Aid for Specific Activities
Innovative Programs
There is also a section for Military Aid and Savings. The military aid section has:
US Armed Forces Recruiting Programs
Financial Aid for Veterans and their Dependents
Veterans and the FAFSA
HEROES Act of 2003
Books about Military Scholarships and Financial Aid for Veterans
My favorite area is the calculator. FinAid's custom calculators can help you figure out how much school will cost, how much you need to save and how much aid you'll need.
Overall this website made it a lot easier for me. It relieved a lot of stress and help with me financially incredibly.
