Many of you have asked how to find scholarships – especially privately-funded ones, which can be used at any college in the country.  So here is the answer to your prayers: my top three picks for scholarship search engines.

A search engine isn’t just a list of scholarships.  A search engine will ask you to complete a profile, and then will scan the web or its own databases for scholarships that fit your profile.  So happy hunting!

www.fastweb.com – free search; enter data on your academics, career interests, hobbies, etc. Fastweb emails you scholarships you can apply for based on that information! Our TOP PICK for scholarship search engines!
