Finding and Applying for Private Scholarships                    Federal School Code      002325     Many private scholarships for college students are offered each year by a variety of corporate, professional, trade, government, civic, religious, social, and fraternal organizations. These scholarships can range in amount from small honorariums to thousands of dollars. To be considered, students must meet the eligibility criteria specified by the donor and complete the donor's scholarship application. Searching for and applying for scholarships is a time-consuming process, so it is a good idea to start as early as possible. (Prospective students should begin as early as two years before admission to the University.) Breaks from school provide good opportunities to spend time on your search. The information on this page will help you with your search:  Scholarship Search Services (a list of free services) About Search Services That Charge a Fee Other Scholarship Resources (where to do your own searches) Private Scholarship Listing (some of the scholarships available to college students) SCHOLARSHIP SEARCH SERVICES:   A quick way to start a scholarship search is to use specialized scholarship search sites on the web. The ones listed here are among the most popular free scholarship search sites. Please note that the best source of information about University of Michigan (U-M) scholarships is the U-M Office of Financial Aid and U-M Schools and Colleges. If you register with the companies below and you receive email messages from them about specific U-M scholarships, please check the OFA private scholarship listing FIRST, to see if you would be eligible for the scholarships.

The University of Michigan Office of Financial Aid does not recommend these services and suggests that you thoroughly investigate them before submitting any fees to them. We also suggest that you read the Scholarship Scam Alert on The Financial Aid Information Page and information from the Federal Trade Commission. OTHER SCHOLARSHIP RESOURCES: Other good places to start looking for scholarships include the reference section of your local library, your high school guidance counselor's office, and bookstores. You can save time by creating a form letter to send to organizations to inquire about their scholarships.
