INTRODUCTION
Do you have at least $24,000 to spend on a college education? If
so, pass this disk on to a less fortunate friend. But if you don't
have that much saved, or you'd rather spend it on something else, read
on.
While a public college education costs about $24,000, four years
at a private college or university costs about $52,000. And an
education at one of the best, Ivy League, universities costs much
more. These figures are for tuition, room and board only. They don't
even include books, other supplies, personal expenses, or
transportation. Despite these incredible costs, which are rising
every year, over ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS in scholarships, loans
and grants is UNCLAIMED every year. This disk will lead you to some
of that money.
If you don't mind spending a few dollars, the easiest way to find
a scholarship is to pay someone else to do the searching for you.
Check Chapter 1 to find out about these computerized services.
If you have more time than money, look at Chapter 2 to discover
several different ways to research financial aid on your own.
If your family doesn't have much money, find out about the
various government grant and loan programs in Chapters 3 and 4.
If serving in the military appeals to you, look at Chapter 5 for
information on how to get a college education before or after you've
served your country.
If you have a particular college in mind, check Chapter 6 to find
out the different types of aid that might be available to you.
If you, or someone in your family, works for the government or
any large corporation or belongs to a union, look at Chapters 7 and 8
to find out how to make the most of these connections. If nothing
there is appropriate, look at Chapter 9. Various funds are available
to the children of veterans, emergency personnel, ministers, and even
cranberry growers.
If you, or anyone in your family, actively belong to any clubs,
organized religions, or community groups, check out Chapters 10 and 11
to find out about the college aid they might offer you.
If you've developed a special skill, Chapters 12, 13, and 14 can
show you how to find someone willing to sponsor you because of it.
Whatever your ancestral background, look at Chapter 15. Whether
you realize it or not, everyone's ethnic and a lot of groups want to
help members of certain minority groups. It doesn't matter if your
background is Hispanic, Black, Native American, Armenian, or Chinese.
Someone wants to help you get to college.
If you have a mental or physical disability Chapter 16 can help
you find a variety of sources of governmental and private funding for
your college education.
Finally, there are some special scholarships, grants, and loans
just for women, just for men, just for single people, and just for
married people. If you haven't found what you're looking for anywhere
else, you almost have to qualify for something in Chapter 17 or 18.
Some of the information on this disk may have changed by the time
you read it, but most of the sources and programs listed have been
established for a long time so they can be expected to continue for a
long time into the future.
Remember, there's BILLIONS of dollars available to help you get a
college education and a large part of that money is unclaimed every
year. Some of it can be yours. Good luck!
