Identifying Grants & Scholarships
​
To complete the picture of providing the most cost-effective form of training (in this case "college"), I will work with you to identify as many grants and scholarships as I can find for which you are qualified to apply.
​​
To do this I will need to find out personal data including family finances, racial/ethnic background, disabilities, talents, etc. I will keep all information I receive strictly confidential.
The search utilizes a number of national databases like Fastweb, Scholarship Owl, Scholly, and several others. It will also include college-specific scholarships and awards.
Obviously, it is not possible to search specific scholarships at every possible college or university, so I will begin by using any school you choose, along with the most cost effective in each of the 6 categories
(IL-Public, IL-Private, Commuter, Online, Christian, and Conservative). After that, if time permits we might expand this to include the "2nd tier" (2nd least expensive in each category).
​
Note that many of the awards will not specify the exact amount you may receive as it will depend on your qualifications.
​
Let me also point out that, the work I will do in searching for grants & scholarships for you does not require special skills or access, it is just "grunt work" that you can, AND SHOULD also be doing as one who aspires to go to a very expensive institution of learning. If our work is redundant, then that's confirmation of the data.
If I find money you didn't, or you find money I didn't, then that's EXTRA free money you can have!
Also, keep in mind that $200 or $500 for an award may not sound like much, but if you are successful at getting 15 or 20 of these they add up in a hurry.
