If we are going to categorize the kinds of college scholarship programs available today, we can only sum they up into 2: college scholarship programs that are given by colleges and universities and college scholarship programs that are given by institutions or groups.
College Scholarship Programs from Colleges and Universities
There are 3 common types of college scholarship programs given by colleges and universities:
· Academic scholarship
· Athletic scholarship
· Departmental scholarship
Academic scholarship is probably the most popular type of scholarship given by schools. This type of scholarship are given to students who either have performed well during their high school or have applied and passed for academic scholarship.
Athletic scholarship, another popular type of scholarship is given to those with exceptional talents in sports. But, this type of scholarship is not limited to athletes. There are students who are artists and stage performers. They can acquire this type of scholarship as well. Some schools have other names given to this.
Departmental scholarship is another type of college scholarship given by colleges and universities. This has two purposes: to attract students to enroll at the department and to keep good students from transferring to another department
College Scholarship Programs from institutions or groups.
Meanwhile, there are other scholarships given by institutions and other cause oriented groups. These are:
· Corporations
· Religious groups
· Unions
· Associations
· Individuals
· Employers
Some corporations provide free college education to those who pass their requirements. Usually, corporations that offer scholarship programs are those who are willing to employ their scholars to work with them after they finish their degree.
Religious groups have been very active in giving their underprivileged members the chance to study and finish college education. These religious groups have funds allocated to their scholars.
Unions can provide college scholarships to the children of their members.
If you browse the internet and look for scholarship providers, you can find that there are sites that focus on giving students their chance to study for free. They are associations that exist to do this purpose.
Many individuals are opening their doors to those students who want to study and finish a degree. These individuals could be found online or offline. They could be one of your neighbors. They could be persons that could be found on the internet that solicit money from other individuals and then give the donations to students in need.

scholarships for a dean list student, a psychology major, a child of a veteran, and a single parent. First child to attend college in the family. A child that was on the honor roll all through grade school and high scool.
You have several sources:
1.) Federal Money. The FAFSA (Free Aid) determines the need of your family and doles out money accordingly. Usually it is in the form of loans that must be repaid though.
2.) Once FAFSA is in, you can often apply for aid from your state. I got a very generous grant from California (doesn't have to be paid back).
3.) You're school. With the FAFSA and state info in, your school then computes your need and how they can help. Do not expect much more aid from public schools, but private schools usually help more here. They can then offer loans, but it is usually grants and scholarships. (some of these come with stipulations, such as continuing in an activity, or keeping a GPA). Loads of potential money here, but it requires more research.
4.) Independent (non school-dependent) scholarships.
Use this site. It is amazing for pulling up Scholarship Research

It will tailor its results to your interests to bring you the best scholarships you are most suited for. Apply. Nothing is guaranteed to be won, but it's worth a try.
5.) Local scholarships.
There are many local organizations that can't wait to give away money. Rotary International, Daughters of the American Revolution, Banks, Charities, Churches… keep your eyes open, involvement up, and ask everybody you know if they are aware of something. I earned a tidy little scholarship by asking an adult friend in construction, who sponsored me in a scholarship often has more scholarships to give away than applicants.
Asking will only help.
Good luck, and be perseverent.

I dove into the world of free college scholarship offerings from a "zillion" possible companies or organizations. But the 10 or so I've seen look as if it is the student who needs to be writing them and not a parent. Any one know anything on this?
Yes, it is the students responsibility to apply for scholarships as well as do the admissions process themselves.
I see lots of potential college students and their parents… trust me… 30 seconds in a room with them and I can tell you who's going to complete the semester (without F's) and who's there because mom wants to keep them on the family insurance.
Talk to your kid, but don't do ANYTHING for them when it comes to college. There is a term called "Helicopter Parents". They "hover"… hence the term.
Read up on it., don't become one.. and let your kids become adults…
