How can I find grants/scholarships for college?
    #22208477 - 09/08/15 05:51 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

I'm in my first year of college, freaking out about having to pay this tuition off. I did pretty good in highschool but I was stupid and didn't apply for any scholarships or grants except for a Pell grant.

I expect to get all A's this semester, is that worthy of getting a good chunk of tuition off with some scholarships and grants? What else would I need to do to get scholarships? join clubs/ frats? or sports? I'm already working here at the cafeteria.

Thanks for any and all help

not sure about the scholarships; i'd try google.  but there's likely going to be lots of trash scams and shit.  not to mention most are targeted; at females, at engineering students, at minorities, at ____, at ____, at _____.

for a white, middle-class, male, like myself, i didnt even bother looking around.





keep your job.  talk to your counselors about sources to look through; they usually have a few on mind. 




the best advice i can give you is to live frugally and try and borrow as little as possible.  i did the whole "take out max each semester and live like a king" thing, and it's biting me in the financial ass.

In my experience its minority status that gets you a scholarship, not merit or need.  I had both merit and need and I couldn't even apply to half the scholarships because they explicitly denied white males.  I never got one and I witnessed richer minorities with worse grades scoop them all up.

If it weren't for the colorblind Pell Grant I would have got no assistance at all and would not have completed college (which in hindsight, may have been a good thing :wink: )

Whatever you do don't take out a crippling debt to go.  After I graduated I kept doing construction and had plenty of people call me a fuck up for not going to college.  I am doing MUCH better than the majority of my friends at this point who took out loans to go to school.  Shit I am 3x as rich as my friend who went to vet school.  Poor girl is going to be paying that shit off till she dies. 


I usually tell people to look for union apprenticeships if they can't afford school on their own.  Then down the line you can do something else if you want. 


I will probably come in just shy of clearing 6 figs this year without a degree. 


Ultimately, all I can really say is be careful man.  Do your research before you INVEST in a degree.
