A Million Bucks In Scholarships - I'm Not Kidding!
|
 |
Written By:

| Mention a million dollars in scholarships as few
as ten years ago, and most university officials
and everybody else would have laughed in your
face. It won't happen today. There are two reasons
why. College scholarship opportunities have grown
tremendously and the cost of an undergraduate
education continues to go up and up with no relief
in sight. The value of a four-year military
academy degree is now at $323,450. Who could
afford that? Thankfully, West Point, Annapolis and
the Air Force Academy are free to the students.
That's one giant government scholarship. Can a
half-million dollar tuition be far behind?
Tuition and fees for a handful of private
universities and colleges already top a
quarter million, and many more are well over a
hundred and fifty big ones.
A helpless father called for help because his son's first
year tuition, majoring in engineering, would be
almost $40,000. One year! Scary? You bet! Another
dad told me that his son would graduate next year
owing $51,761.
Will the total college bill reach a million
dollars? Not likely. But with the birth of the Internet,
it is just a matter of time until someone takes up the
challenge and amasses a million bucks in
scholarship awards. Yes, it can be done. There is
no limit to the number of scholarships any one
person can win. It can be done by surfing,
exploring and utilizing the Internet.
There are five important keys to Internet
scholarship search success: persistence,
persistence, persistence, persistence and
creativity. Millions of dollars in scholarships
are on the net with millions and millions of
dollars to be handed out. Why not to you?
Be sure to check out the U.S. Department of
Education websites, and the 50 state education
sites. Look hard at colleges and universities that

might want to attend. Consider unions, service
groups, associations, and social organizations.
Look for websites that emphasize a particular
skill or talent you may have or wish to acquire.
This are also great opportunities for minorities,
Native Americans, African-Americans and Senior
Citizens. Add those words to "scholarships" and
watch the magic begin.
Use a variety of search engines. Investigate
every website that offers free information about
scholarships. Substitute the word "grants" for
"scholarships" and search again.
Check out the following words and terms to get
started. Switch the words around and use college
financial aid, free college scholarships and free
scholarships. When you find a website that you
want to keep, bookmark it as a favorite in your
browser. Contact those sites using their email
address. You can also get my personal search list
