Here is a list of scholarship providers that I met while attending the National Scholarship Providers conference. You will notice the diversity of the providers. Even if these aren’t a match for you personally, I hope it inspires you to get creative when searching for scholarships.
American Library Association (ALA) –http://www.ala.org/ala/educationcareers/scholarships/index.cfm (Want to be a librarian? Scholarships for earning your master’s degree in library and information science. Check them out.)
Bright Prospect – www.brightprospect.org (“posse” system for attending college, based in California)
Charlie Wootan Grant – http://www.aie.org/wootan/ (For low-income students – application process not until 2011, but bookmark the page now)
Evan Scholars Foundation – http://www.wgaesf.org (I have written about them before…scholarships for golf caddies)
Greenhouse Scholars – www.greenhousescholars.org (for under-resourced students in the Colorado area)
Hispanic Scholarship Fund – www.hsf.net (aggressive goal to have a college degree in every Latino household)
Junior Achievement – www.ja.org (chapters around the world, some have scholarships – and, involvement in JA can build the skills that lead to other scholarships…)
National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation – www.nraef.org(variety of scholarships for students in culinary arts)
National Society of Collegiate Scholars – www.nscs.org (I was a panelist at their annual conference a few years ago – very bright, energetic group of members)
Pride Foundation – www.pridefoundation.org (scholarships to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and straight-ally leaders and role models from Alaska, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Washington)
The Washboard.org – www.thewashboard.org (actually a ‘smarter’ listing of scholarship matches, provided for students in Washington state)
Tourism Cares – www.tourismcares.org (from the tourism industry: to preserve the travel experience for future generations – who knew?)
The 10/20 Project – www.the1020project.org (not quite a scholarship, I admit, but a chance to support homeless people who could possibly be on the path to higher education after they get themselves situated…)
The Terry Foundation – www.terryfoundation.org (Winner of the National Scholarship Provider of the Year Award! – Congratulations!)
Don’t see a scholarship for you? Look at the list and think about similar organizations that might be located in your city or town. Do your research locally and you’ll be amazed at what you find! Good luck!
