ABOUT ALTERNATIVE FINANCIAL AID
Educational costs are briskly outrunning inflation. The cost
of one year of tuition at a typical four-year college will
average $25,000 per year by the next century. State and federal
student financial aid funds are no longer enough to pay for the
increasingly high cost of an education. Therefore, students
must seek out alternative financial aid programs.
Alternative financial aid is non-state and non-federal
student financial aid offered by private organizations through-
out the United States. Alternative financial aid normally
consists of scholarships, grants, low-interest loans, no-
interest loans, fellowships and internships. Students may
qualify for alternative financial aid by the possession of
certain personal characteristics or by studying certain
subjects.
College Funding Finder is an alternative student financial
aid database which tracks over 350 alternative student
financial aid sources offering over 6,000 different student
financial aid programs.
** NOTE: There is a 50,000 scholarship version available.
Please see our ordering information at the end
of this program.
In addition to helping students locate sources of
financial aid, College Funding Finder provides the student with
comprehensive funding information AND personalized application
request letters which reduce the effort required by the student
to get the necessary applications for these aid programs. A
guide with tips for applying to these funds is also supplied to
the student.
USING COLLEGE FUNDING FINDER
Students using College Funding Finder simply select the
areas of study they wish to pursue from College Funding Finder's
vast list of pertinent subjects. College Funding Finder uses
the areas of study chosen by the student to locate the
appropriate alternative financial aid programs available.
College Funding Finder will conduct a GENERAL search for all
funds available under every search criteria entered. Students
must read the funding descriptions to determine which funds they
are specifically eligible for.
AREA OF STUDY SELECTION
Students may choose an area of study to search on by
using the arrow keys to highlight their selection and pressing
ENTER once the desired selection is highlighted. If an area
of study is not offered on the selection screen, then the
desired area of study is simply entered by selecting the OTHER
option from the selection screen, pressing ENTER, and entering
the desired area of study.
If you choose the OTHER option from the subject selection
screen you will be prompted to enter in your other area of
study. College Funding Finder will search for funding using
the exact spelling of the desired area of study that you enter.
For example, in order to search for funds available for the
study of veterinary medicine, you would select OTHER from the
subject selection screen and enter in 'veterinary medicine'.
If, however, you wanted to locate all funding related to
veterinary science, veterinarians, veterinary medicine, etc...,
you would limit your entry to 'veterinar'. Only part of the
word is typed in because the text 'veterinar' is part of the
entire spelling of each of the above related fields. Typing
in only the most important part of the subject (i.e.,
'veterinar' of 'veterinary medicine', or 'veterinary science',
or 'veterinarians') will enable you to locate all funds related
to that particular topic. Remember to limit all your
'typed-in' selections in the same way in order to maximize your
chances of locating all funding available to you.
GOOD LUCK!
INFOSOFT wishes all students the best of luck in their
