Scholarships

Don’t qualify for Pell Grants? Don’t worry. There are tons of websites out there where you can apply for scholarships. This should be your next step. Always exhaust every alternative before taking out student loans. You’ll thank me later.

I found a great article on Money Saving Pro with a list of the top five scholarship websites. This is updated for 2015. At the top of their list is Cappex. Students gave Cappex 4 stars, the highest on their list. Cappex is geared more toward high school and undergrad students. Coming in second place is Fastweb. Students gave this website 3 stars. You can request scholarship reminders and updates on this one. College Prowler, Zinch and SimpleTuition are the remaining top websites. They are all boasted as being very user friendly. There are many more websites out there, too; all you have to do is Google “scholarships” to find more.
