Host: How do I find private scholarships?
Brad Barnett: Finding private scholarships can be challenging, but it can also be a lot of fun because the door is wide open, there are several free internet searches that you can use to find things on a national basis and I encourage students to use those but I also encourage them to spend probably more time on things that are local, things that are in their community.
They may have a better shot of getting those, when you do about going up against thousands of the people applying across the country. So, start with places like your Church, start with the local civic organizations like the The Kiwanis, and Lions Club and Rotary Club.

They may have a better shot of getting those, when you do about going up against thousands of the people applying across the country. So, start with places like your Church, start with the local civic organizations like the The Kiwanis, and Lions Club and Rotary Club. Go to the local library, if you are a high school student, talk to your school counselor. They will often time have access to a lot of that information. Talk to the financial aid office at your college. They may know of some local scholarships that you can get. Have to do a lot of digging, your parents may even be able to help you to their employer. If you spend the time, typically, it s worth it but it does some time to find scholarships
