Please Help! question bout Scholarships!!!?!

<p>Are there scholarships that don't involve writing an essay or making a video etc...</p>

<p>Are there ones that simply ask questions about your GPA, school, address etc. If so, what is a possible website I can visit. </p>

<p>I am a hard-working student, but my family is kind of in debt at the moment. I dont want financial problems to prevent me from learning at a college.</p>

<p>Any help will be appreciated</p>

<p>Don’t waste your time applying to private scholarships when you need a LOT of money. They’re mostly for frosh year only so you wouldn’t have funds for years 2-4. Also, they’re usually for small amounts, and very hard to get. </p>

<p>Since you need LOTS of money, you need to apply to SCHOOLS that give large scholarships for GPA and test scores. Those are usually for all 4 years.</p>

<p>How much aid do you need? How much can your family contribute?</p>

<p>I see that you’re in Calif and looking at CSUs. Is there one that you can commute to? If so, which one?</p>

<p>Have you taken the SAT yet? If not, that will make it hard to get scholarships.</p>

<p>Do NOT make the mistake of gathering up some small scholarships that are only for the first year, and then think you can afford to go away to a CSU. You’ll likely find yourself out of luck for the following year. And transferring to a commutable CSU is next to impossible</p>

<p>mom2collegekids: thanks for your reply.</p>

<p>I actually wanted to reside in the dorms, and I wanted to attend Cal Poly Pomona. I know what you mean by those scholarships, I think they are called “guaranteed scholarships”. I messed up for not taking the SAT’s yet; i have to still take it in December. However, my GPA is pretty good, it is around 3.8-3.9 ish… </p>

<p>Do you think I would be eligible for these guaranteed scholarships? I couldn’t find a place on the site for Pomona that talked about these scholarships.</p>
