Scholarship Search Opportunities

Private, outside scholarships are available from businesses, clubs, organizations and employers. Many Rollins students receive outside scholarships in addition to other types of federal, state, and Rollins financial aid. Students generally seek these scholarships on their own through a variety of avenues. Two good sources for these scholarships are www.fastweb.com and www.cappex.com/scholarships. Below are organizations who have contacted Rollins directly and we are these posting scholarship opportunities. We will also conduct an internal search and notify students who appear to meet the minimum requirements for these scholarships. For specific questions on these scholarships, please contact the organization listed on the application or website.

Scholarship Tips:

 

Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of the scholarship search website FastWeb, compiled a list of outside scholarship tips. The most important point to keep in mind is that you will not receive a scholarship if you do not put the effort forward. Spend the time to develop strong essays, competitive applications, and meet the scholarship deadlines in order to receive consideration. Free websites like www.fastweb.com help to identify scholarship opportunities. Please visit http://www.finaid.org/scholarships/WinningaScholarship.pdf for the full guide.
