Supposedly this is supposed to be an easy scholarship. Anyone know anything about it or had any success with this?

Thanks!

I recently graduated from college and discovered a number of different funding sources so that in the end I didn’t pay very much out of pocket for my education. If you take the time and do a little research there are quite a few little known scholarships or grant sources which means less competition for those. These sources usually are for less money but if you can start finding a few of these it starts to add up quickly. One such source that I found last spring semester offers up to a $10,000 Scholarship for Women which you can use how ever you want towards your education. I would not stop with just this one source but get online or go to the library and start researching more. Like I said, I was able to get a big chunk of my education paid for by doing this.

Best of luck

So is the Forum going to report on Kiplinger’s finding of CMC and Pomona as “Best Values?” Considering this report reflects average debt accrued (a much more meaningful statistic), it’s probably worth sharing here.

And here’s the raw link, since I can’t get the HTML to work:

“It is important to note, however, that these rankings reflect sticker price costs only and do not take into account additional student fees or financial aids.”

Hmmmm….sounds like your clarification is that these rankings are useless. Universities/colleges across the country are raising tuition costs while boosting their financial aid programs–it’s a kind of benevolent price discrimination which makes the stated tuition costs entirely misleading and these ratings just plain stupid
