Tackling
the scholarship search
Parents know how intense the college search process
can be — especially when it comes to the price tag. The
good news is there are many scholarships out there, and
even students who aren’t at the top of their class have a
chance to win some scholarship money. Here are a few
tips from the North Hills Huntington Learning Center to
make your scholarship search efficient — and hopefully
successful:
Start early. Freshman year is a great time to start get-ting
familiar with what types of scholarships exist, the
requirements and who typically wins those scholarships.
Your school counselor is a great resource, as are web-sites,
such as www.scholarships.com, www.fastweb.com
and www.bigfuture.collegeboard.org/scholarship-search.
Search near and far. Look for scholarships in the
community (foundations, local businesses, churches).
It’s worth emphasizing that school counselors probably
learn about new scholarships all year long. If they have
an online system or database, be sure your teen browses
it regularly or registers to receive notifications of new
scholarships and deadlines. Once your teen applies for
financial aid and submits college applications, the school

counselor can also help navigate any college-specific
scholarships offered.
Narrow things down. The scholarship search can
become overwhelming if your teen accumulates hundreds
of potential scholarships. Scholarship search engines
allow your teen to create a profile that narrows the list
down to those that are a fit, minimizing time wasted on
scholarships for which your teen is not a candidate.
Be disciplined about applying. Most scholarship
deadlines are between October and March. Once your
teen has a list of possible scholarships, create a spread-sheet
arranged by deadline date with the names and
contact information of each and tackle 5-10 per week. As
new possibilities arise, add them to the spreadsheet and
keep at it. Files for each scholarship with the details and
essays submitted will help keep your teen organized.
