Sources of FINANCIAL AID*The colleges in which you are interested: Most colleges have Merit and/or special talent
scholarships. Typically, merit scholarships are based on a combination or SAT/ACT scores and rank in class. Each college has different programs.
*The State Government: See reverse side for listing of SC scholarship programs. *The Federal Government: Based on income and assets of the student and custodial parent(s).
Complete FAFSA after Jan. 1st of the senior year, but as close to this date as possible. Register for free private scholarships searches: Fast Web is considered the best of many. Go to
www.fastweb.com. Visit the Guidance Department every two weeks: We list all scholarships that are mailed to the
high school. Research your affiliations: The best are typically employers of parents and student, organizations in
which you belong or have membership (church denominations, unions, insurance companies, etc.).
Think about creative possibilities: For example, if you are an RA at a college, will the college waive
your room and board fees? Do any professors at your prospective colleges know of any available money? Does playing in the marching band, even if you are not music major, avail you to scholarship money? Think of some other possibilities.
*These three sources are the most impacting in terms of helping reduce college costs
considerably. Spend most of your time exhausting these possibilities
