College costs are soaring... We can help !
It's not as hard as most people think. Our service provides
the information students need to obtain scholarships at any
accredited college, university, or trade/technical school.
We are so certain that we can help, we GUARANTEE that we will
send you at least 7 sources of private sector financial aid -
or we will refund your money !
What is a Financial Aid Profile ?
We match a student's individual background and educational goals
with a large database of over 200,000 listings for scholarships,
fellowships, grants, and loans. This database represents over
$ 10 billion in private sector funding and is constantly being
updated. You could spend months in a library to research
your opportunities for funding from the private sector, or you
could spend hundreds of dollars in bookstores and still spend time
researching the information, missing thousands of funding resources.
How can students qualify for financial aid?
When students complete the confidential questionnaire,
they provide us with important information on their skills,
hobbies, background, interests, and other important details. This
information is then entered into our computer and used to find out
which sources of private sector financial aid students may be
qualified to receive. As an example, we will look at unique
factors such as the students' ancestry, place of residence,
religion or parents' occupation.
What are some of the financial sources available ?
There is money for children of divorced parents, fishermen,
farmers, former golf caddies, newspaper carriers, grocery clerks,
cheerleaders, residents of towns served by the Union Pacific
Railroad, non-smokers, public speakers, cab drivers, veterans,
union members - even people with last names like Murphy, Anderson,
Borden or Haven. And this is just a small fraction of the
listings in the database.
How is this scholarship service different from the financial
aid office ?
Our service specializes in private sector funding from
corporations, universities, memorials, foundations, trusts,
religious groups, and many other philanthropic organizations
that wish to help students in furthering their education. In
fact, as state and federal funding sources continue to face
serious cutbacks, private sector funding is expected to grow in
importance and size.
Who should use our service ?
Our service is designed to assist everybody from high school
juniors to post-doctorate. From American born students to
foreign born students - even international students. Our
listings encompass almost all areas of study.
How do students use your Financial Aid Profiler ?
The first step is to complete the student questionnaire form.
Fill in the questionnaire carefully and completely this
information is used to match you with appropriate sources of
financial aid.
Parents can also complete the student questionnaire form.
However, we encourage the student to review all information
submitted.
Upon receipt of your personalized financial aid profile, write to
all the sources provided. A sample letter is included with
your personalized financial aid profile that is useful in writing
to the various awards to request application forms.
Return the application forms to each source. Carefully provide
all required information and complete each application form
before the deadline. Return these directly to each source as
requested.
Do you offer a guarantee ?
Yes. We guarantee that each student who applies will receive at
least 7 sources of private sector financial aid. If we fail to
match the student to at least 7 sources of financial aid the we
will refund your fees in full and provide you with whatever
sources were found free of charge.
How do I get started ?
It is important that you begin the process soon. Application
deadlines vary and occur throughout the year. The sooner you
submit your student questionnaire form, the better your chances
of receiving assistance for next semester.
How much does this service cost ?
The processing fee is $ 25.00 . This cost includes
complete research for either undergraduate and/or graduate
students. To get started, complete the student questionnaire
form now, print the form and mail it today. This small
investment - less than the cost of most college textbooks -
could reap big rewards.
(This price is valid until May 1st 1993)
What if I have additional questions ?
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us before
sending in your student questionnaire form. We can be reached at:
