Look beyond colleges and universities for scholarships. Educational funding in the private sector has increased dramatically in recent years. Review mainstream sources of funds, and be creative. Think about what makes you different, and find groups that value that difference. Many organizations offer scholarships, including: State and local governments, Businesses, Employers, Clubs, Associations, High Schools, Civic groups, Religious organizations, Trade associations, Labor unions, Political parties, Military associations, Private foundations, Private charities, and Ethnic organizations.
