SCHOLARSHIPS Searching for Scholarships Online   One of the most effective ways to search for scholarships and bursaries is by making use of online search engines.

Tip: When creating online profiles for these sites, answer the questions with as much detail as you can so you can find as many awards as possible. Doesn’t it make you sad to think about all that education money sitting there, lonely and unspent, just because nobody cared enough to ask for it? Poor, poor little bursary, all alone in the financial-aid office, waiting for someone to come and love it. Will it be you? PRIVATE SOURCES Many private organizations offer scholarships and bursaries and give them out for all kinds of different reasons. The best place to start is to make a list of organizations that you and your family are associated with – including places of worship, employers, unions, and community groups – and find out if they offer scholarships.
