Non-College Scholarships/Loans
In many communities, scholarships and loans are available locally, particularly for incoming freshmen. Assistance may also be available through major nationwide competitions. School principals and guidance counselors have information about these sources of assistance, which normally may be used at any institution recipients wish to attend. Most public libraries have information about funding sources for higher education. Free scholarship search services are also available online, however, we strongly urge caution about any service that charges a fee for this service.
