(USGovernment-News.Com, September 03, 2012 ) New York, NY -- From left-handed scholarships, to single mother scholarships and scholarships for Hispanics, there are many ways to find financial aid for studying. However, it can be a time-consuming and frustrating process trying to find these scholarships.
The Scholarship Scouts are on hand to help. The website, ScholarshipScouts.org, is a free online service providing information about all the different types of scholarships on offer, in one place.
The “scouts” find the best scholarships on offer, so it is easy for students to locate the financial aid they need to continue or begin their studies.
Single mothers are one group who find particular benefits from the site. Many single mothers feel that college education is out of their reach, both in regards to time and budget. As a result, they often don’t even consider looking for scholarships to pursue their education dreams.
“It is a catch-22,” said Brian Walsh, spokesperson for the company. “Single mothers need to study in order to improve their financial situation, but they believe they need to improve their financial situation in order to study.”
However, Scholarships Scouts have made it easy to find a solution. It houses information on many scholarships for single mothers, including the Emerge Scholarship and the Women’s Independence Scholarhip Program.
The scouts have also ‘scouted’ hundreds of scholarships for college students, which Brian Walsh advises to apply for as soon as possible and for as many as possible. “There are thousands of scholarships available, and it is important to apply for all opportunities for which you are eligible. Many of these are highly competitive, so the earlier you start applying, the greater your chance of winning financial aid,” he said.
In addition to a range of scholarships for college students, the website also provides more obscure scholarships that many people wouldn’t normally think of when applying for financial aid.
Visitors can browse through the easiest scholarships to apply for – perfect for those who don’t have the best grades or who aren’t skilled when it comes to writing essays. “Most of these are awarded by random drawing, however the best advice we can give is to apply for as many as possible to have the best chance of getting some helpful cash for college.”
Another option users will find on Scholarships Scouts is No Essay Scholarships. This is not only an ideal option for those who aren’t natural writers, but also saves hours and hours of time taken to apply for financial help.
“Our goal is to show that it is possible for anyone to get financial aid for studying. We provide up-to-date information on every type of scholarship out there, from scholarships for left-handed people to scholarships for Hispanics. It’s all here in one place,” Mr Walsh continued.
