Jump Start Your College Career with the
2013 Scholarship Guide and Directory

A college education continues to be critical to the quality of life.
Scholarships are a great way to cover part of or sometimes even all of the cost of a college education. Students should start applying for scholarships their junior year and all throughout their senior year. Additionally, there are many scholarship opportunities for college and graduate students.
However, what most do not know is that, you can find scholarships by simply looking on the internet. It’s important to not only look at scholarships offered by individual schools, but to also look at government funded programs, corporate grants and community-based scholarships.
Attached is a small snapshot of various scholarships available to youth. This resource encompasses opportunities for high school, college and graduate students seeking financial aid. Take special note of deadline dates! Please visit the organization’s website for more detailed information on each scholarship offered.
