<p>I have been using Z inch and Fastweb to apply for some third party scholarship.</p>
<p>Are they reliable sites? </p>
<p>Any suggestions as to other places to look?</p>
<p>BUMP? Anyone?</p>
<p>The reality is that the vast majority of your scholarships are going to come from local sources (have you tried your guidance counselor?) and the schools themselves. </p>
<p>IMO, Fastweb is by far the best. You can always try googling specific scholarship categories (race, major, etc).</p>
<p>If your HS doesn’t list local scholarships, then try the websites of other near by or area high schools.</p>
<p>… or go to the counseling office…</p>
<p>how exactly should my mom sign the 1040A? and where?</p>
<p>Layzer, make your own thread to get an answer. Hopefully your mother knows where to sign it since she has probably filed taxes before.</p>
<p>@layzer … with a pen, on the dotted line</p>
<p>@slipknotter … yes, those are safe sources for scholarships. however everyone and their brother also has access to those sources and therefore there is significant competition for the scholarships.</p>
<p>My S’s GC has info on some scholarships, but then also so does the local library website.</p>
<p>My D applied for about 10 or so directly through guidance, as in, apps turned into guidance, as well as 5-7 more through links to outside sources on the guidance website. Anything on a national level could have 40,000 other applicants! Sure, someone will be awarded those scholarships, but it is way more of a longshot than applying for something that might be just from your own county or school district!</p>
