Default Scholarships

I just wanted to ask you guys that are still in college and went to college if you knew of any type of scholarships to apply to to help cover the expenses of college.Right now I have applied for FAFSA.I know some of you apply to some scholarships that are fairly easy to win.Please share actual scholarship links and not fastweb or sites like those.I have tried fastweb and I have not won a single scholarship from them and I have applied to alot of them.I am a migrant from Texas that migrates to California if that helps.Thanks,Jesus Garcia.

FAFSA?

It's the government, so it takes a bit once you have all your stuff submitted, but its what my gf uses all the time.

Not sure how much your parents make, but if you're a dependant and your parents make more than $200,000 combined per year you aren't going to get ****. I applied for FAFSA and was granted like $700 per semester.

College loans are typically really good interest.
A friend of mine said his is like 3%.

The college should be able to direct you to some financial aid. If your not far out of high school you could possibly even go back and ask your high school counselor.

That would be funny if it weren't true. Whitey can't catch a break. I worked and paid for college as I went.........then I dropped out.
