Private scholarships anyone... ?

Paying for College
1

<p>I'm going to be applying for UT-D and UT-Arlington soon enough and my only hope for affording fees & tuition is by obtaining one of their big scholarships. These scholarships I don't have to apply to. Anyone admitted is simply eligible as long as he/she has good stats. </p>

<p>The thing is I need at least around $3000 dollars to cover the in-state approximate $8000 tuition for UT-Arlington and at least $5000 dollars to cover the in-state approximate $10000 for UT-D. </p>

<p>I'm hoping for a SAT score above 1800, but I'm not very sure about getting above 1900. Results are coming out 21st of December! My GPA is around 3.7. </p>

<p>Many students have higher stats and so it is not guaranteed that I get the merit scholarship I want from the university. I need a PRIVATE SCHOLARSHIP. Please let me know of any good ones! (I'm a US citizen but I live abroad, so nothing national please) </p>

<p>FAFSA won't do me any good, by the way.</p>

<p>Register on Fastweb.com and look through the scholarships that that site recommends based upon your stats and demographics.</p>

<p>Private scholarships are often only for freshman year, so what are you going to do for soph, jr, and sr years?</p>

<p>If you live abroad, how do you get instate rates for Texas schools?</p>

<p>how much will your parents contribute each year?</p>

<p>Gadad I checked fastweb.com out long ago and it’s only for residents of the U.S. </p>

<p>mom2collegekids not all private scholarships are only for freshman year, and even so, an extra $1000 wouldn’t hurt now would it?
I can get instate tuition if I’m awarded a scholarship (FROM THE UNIVERSITY ITSELF) that is $1000 or more.</p>

<p>My dad will not pay more than $10000 (tuition + living expenses + room etc.)</p>
