are available to students in many forms.
The scholarships listed on this page are all
guaranteed.
By guaranteed
scholarships, we mean those which are unlimited in number, and require
no interview, essay, portfolio, audition, competition or other
"secondary" requirement. Just meet the criteria listed, adhere to the
application deadlines set by the individual colleges and universities,
gain admission, enroll, and receive your scholarship or scholarships.
Remember that, in many cases, the scholarships are mutually
exclusive...you will generally receive the largest scholarship or grant
for which you qualify.
And,
generally, you will have to meet some minimum requirements to renew and
retain any scholarships and grants awarded to you.
To avoid
disappointment and/or misunderstandings, please contact any of the

Also, please
be aware that many institutions listed below offer grants, financial
aid, and awards other than those listed. We have only listed those
meeting our definition of "guaranteed". And, be advised that many
colleges require anyone applying for aid to complete financial aid
forms, even if they have no demonstrated financial need.
