查找其他奖学金
学生财务服务 offers the following list of scholarship search engines and opportunities as a tool to help you pursue additional funding for your education. High School students should check with their counselor since they are considered a great resource. While most scholarships are offered to incoming freshmen who are beginning college, there are organizations that offer funds to upperclassmen or to graduate students as encouragement to pursue a degree that leads to a career in that field (for example, 大量的科学, 技术, 工程, 及数学奖学金).
Unlike applying for need-based university, state, or federal aid using just the FAFSA, finding and applying for scholarships requires much more time and effort on the part of the student. Based upon feedback from our students who've received outside scholarships, most take the approach of applying for as many scholarships as they can find.
One of your best bets for finding potential scholarships is to spend time searching for opportunities that match your major, 利益, 活动, 参与, 传记背景. 您会发现每个组织的应用程序都是不同的, 有些人比其他人更投入. Filling out and submitting numerous applications takes time as well. This isn’t meant to discourage you from looking for outside scholarships; just be aware that this process requires patience and persistence. 但如果你幸运的话, 被选为奖学金获得者, 即使是很小的一个, 代表了你所投入的时间的良好回报.
As a reminder, legitimate scholarship organizations will never charge you an application fee. If a group wants to charge you money to apply for their scholarship (or to receive a list of potential scholarship opportunities), 你可能被骗了.

Here are some helpful tips on applying for outside scholarship opportunities:
- Start Your Search Early: The earlier you start looking for scholarships, the better luck you’ll have. 不知道从哪里开始? 访问mogrenlandscape.com/billing-and-financial-aid/resources for a list scholarship search sites.
- Only 应用 for Applicable 奖学金: Make sure you know and meet the requirements of a scholarship before starting the application. 应用ing for a scholarship when you don’t meet 100% of the requirements is not a good use of your time.
- Make Note of Application Deadlines: When you find a scholarship that you’re interested in, 一定要在你的日历上标出申请截止日期. Even better, start the application early so you have plenty of time to complete it by the deadline. If you find multiple opportunities, list them out on a spreadsheet for easy tracking.
- Pay Attention to the Application’s Instructions: Even if you have a great application, submitting it incorrectly can automatically disqualify you from being considered. So, make sure you read the instructions on how to submit your application, 还有其他说明吗.
- Avoid Scams: Do not share sensitive information such as your social security number. 不缴费申请. 应用程序应该是免费的. 查看隐私政策. 我们建议使用单独的电子邮件帐户. Free Information about Scholarship Scams (Federal Trade Commission)
- Focus on the Essay: Your essay will likely be the most important part of your application. As with your college admission application, your essay can help paint a picture of who you are. 慢慢写你的论文, 尽可能多地校对, and even enlist a friend or family member with help in proofreading what you’ve written. 有些东西可以提升你的文章, 比如你在学校和社区的参与细节, 你的目标和抱负, 以及为什么你认为你应该获得奖学金. 还记得, 很多其他学生可能也在申请同样的奖学金, 所以想想如何让你的文章脱颖而出. And, most importantly, take your time with your essay—don’t rush it!
- 当你准备好了，提交! 确保你已经完成了申请, 确认要求和说明, 而且你对自己的论文很有信心. 现在你可以提交申请了! After you submit your application, you’ll have to wait for a response. 大多数奖学金都会让你知道何时会有结果.
- What to Do if You Receive a Scholarship: If you’re selected for a scholarship, congratulations! 要知道你的努力是有回报的. 现在, make sure to notify 学生财务服务 of any additional scholarship(s) you receive, 不管金额多少. These scholarship funds must be counted as a resource in meeting your educational costs and coordinated with your other sources of financial aid. 电子邮件 建.finaid@mogrenlandscape.com 写上你的名字, 学号, 奖学金金额, 以及每学期的预期资金. 使用主题栏:外部奖学金. 奖学金支票应寄至:
