College Money—Easy Search

money for college, scholarships, grants

 When John, our oldest son, was starting his college career, we did our early research for scholarships in the public library reference section. We pored over huge volumes of The College Bluebook – Scholarships, Fellowships, Grants and Loans. We took copious notes and made numerous copies of pertinent pages. Later, we found free web sites to aid us in our search and provide custom-tailored information. These cut our search time immensely.
