<p>Since it's that time of year when we start tearing our parental hair out, wondering just how we're going to put the little monsters through 4 years of college :) - I've put together a list of websites that I've found useful when searching for merit scholarships for my two daughters. Interested parents may want to take a look.</p>
<p>One often little known source is the local alumni association for the school. I know Wisconsin and Michigan each give out several scholarships per year in many cities around the US for local kids only. Amounts are not huge-$1000-$2000 or so each per year but the competition is not that great and need is not really a big part of it.</p>
