I was wondering if there is any out there for a student who is 2.0 gpa and up and wants a career in education/spanish/art kind of field. Please help!!!! I need scholarships for my future.

• Answer:

  If you are still in high school, talk with a HS counselor SOON to learn about scholarship opportunities as well as the ins and outs of financial aid for education. There may be scholarships from local organizations for just students graduating from your HS. The schools you are interested in may offer some scholarships for which you are qualified to apply. Check their Financial Aid web pages for info on their scholarships. This is a link to a list of some scholarships for Hispanic/Latino students – Online Education Database: * http://oedb.org/scholarship/hispanic This Scholarships.com web page lists some scholarships for students of Hispanic heritage: * http://www.scholarships.com/financial-aid/college-scholarships/scholarships-by-type/minority-scholarships/hispanic-scholarships/ Also, become familiar with the Latinos in College web site: * http://www.latinosincollege.com Click on the Search link near the upper right of the home page. Type the word "scholarships" in the search box and click on the Search button. These 2 online articles have information on scholarships for students with average grades: * US News and World Report Article: http://www.usnews.com/education/blogs/the-scholarship-coach/2011/08/04/students-with-average-grades-can-get-scholarships * FinAid.org Article: http://www.finaid.org/scholarships/average.phtml If you will be a HS senior next year, take the SAT and/or ACT this summer or early next fall. Some scholarship applications require SAT and/or ACT scores. When you do find a scholarship for which you want to apply, be sure you meet the scholarship requirements, follow the application rules to the letter; use perfect spelling, grammar & punctuation; & submit your application before the deadline. Many other students will be applying for the same scholarships & only a few or maybe just 1 will be awarded. Please do not pin all your hopes of higher education financing on being awarded enough scholarship/grant funds to cover all your college expenses. I do hope you have been saving any gift money & earnings – as much as possible for a number of years Unsolicited advice: Find these books at your local public library, check them out & look them through so you can apply as many of the tips given (a reference librarian can help you): Title: Debt-free U: how I paid for an outstanding college education without loans, scholarships, or mooching off my parents Author: Zac Bissonnette Publisher: New York: Portfolio/Penguin, 2010 Title: The Ultimate Scholarship Book 2012: Billions of Dollars in Scholarships, Grants and Prizes (4th edition) Authors: Gen Tanabe, Kelly Tanabe Publisher: Supercollege, Llc;, 2011 Title: Peterson's how to get money for college: financing your future beyond federal aid, 2011 Publisher: Lawrenceville, N.J. : Peterson's, 2010 This is updated and published annually.
