Where are the best places to look for monetary grants for college on the internet?

Dave Ramsey always talks about places you can go on the web to apply for money for college, but I can't remember the site he suggests. Does any body know the best places to look and apply? Prefer grants over loans, so I am not that much in debt when I graduate. Please help!



Where are the best places to look for monetary grants for college on the internet?

Try:



www.scholarships.com



http://www.college-scholarships.com/



http://www.amazon.com/College-Scholarshi...



You can also go to your college's financial aid office and get a list of scholarships and grants.



Good luck! And live like no one else so later you can live like no one else!

Basically, he is talking about the FAFSA. Also, you will have to go through non-profit agency and apply through them. Most grants are awared based on need.

Check out Federal Student Aid Web Site or FAFSA http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/



I suggest you explore all federal funding and grant options at the Federal Student Aid website http://federalstudentaid.ed.gov/



You may also want to read the Handbook of the Pell Grant -- this is an 86 page document that contains everything about the grant

Or you can call the Federal Student Aid Information Center http://www.ed.gov/programs/fpg/gtepfpg.p... at 1-800-433-3243 and ask them if there are any programs for you



Aside from FAFSA http://www.fafsa.ed.gov and Pell Grant http://www.ed.gov/programs/fpg/index.htm... , you may want to explore private foundation grants



Also check out Fastweb http://www.fastweb.com



For private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online http://gtionline.fdncenter.org . It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) and their opening blurb says that the database is ideal for %26quot;students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices.%26quot; You may be able to find grants from private foundations.
