Paying for College

What are some good financial aid sources
Answered

I'm looking for resources to help me pay my way through college. I don't want to take student loans (I don't want to be in debt). I'm relying on grants and scholarships, but can't ever find ones that match my criteria.

I too have to rely a lot on grants and scholarships. I got a grant through my college, but for scholarships I used websites such as Niche, Cappex, and Bold.org. I liked Bold.org mainly because it was easy to find scholarships suited for you. For me personally, Bold.org recommended me many scholarships based off of my medical disability, race, religion, hobbies, interest, and my major in Psychology.

You can also use your resources. For example, if you have already applied for a college or go to a church, sometimes there are scholarships you can apply for through those.

Hope this helps!
