Applying for Outside Scholarships

Scholarship Search Tips

Include private resources in the search – KFC, Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, and Wal-Mart all offer scholarships.
Research local businesses and state opportunities. Sometimes the best opportunity is right in your neighborhood.
Be persistent and don’t give up. Applying regularly gives you more of a chance than not applying at all (or waiting for one significant scholarship).
Carefully read and understand the rules and requirements of the scholarship for which you are applying.
Stay positive! This is a long-distance marathon, not a sprint. Be creative, be upbeat, and keep working to uncover the right scholarship.
