The College Blue Book —Scholarships, Fellowships, Grants and Loans

There are five titles in the Blue Book series. This giant volume is a great resource for searching out the multitude of mostly private sources for financial aid.

It is organized in nine broad subject areas including: area studies, environmental studies, humanities, life sciences, medical sciences, minorities, physical sciences, social sciences, and technology. Each award is accompanied by type of award, contact information, eligibility requirements and application information. In total it lists over 2500 financial aid possibilities. It’s a great starting point and definitely worth the time to browse through. Be sure to specifically look for this title.

We didn't buy the book, but spent a few hours at the library going through it taking copious notes. Another good source for scholarship information is www.FastWeb.com and it's free!
