SCHOLARSHIP SEARCH PROGRAMS – Don’t be duped into paying for a search.  According to Professor Pat Somers of the University of Arkansas, “The myth of unclaimed billions in financial aid is exploitive and demoralizing to students.  Most aid awarded to students is either from the state or federal government, or from the colleges.”   Check out these free sites:  www.safmt.org or www.fastweb.com  or www.collegeboard.org
