Finding
Scholarships
-
Ask your high school
guidance counselor about local scholarship opportunities.
There are many small foundations that offer scholarships to
alumni of specific high schools or students planning to pursue a
particular career path.
-
Contact
the financial aid departments of all those technical colleges
and four-year colleges you are considering attending. Ask
about scholarship opportunities specific to their institution,
your chosen area of study, or local foundations.
-
Check
with your parents' employers. Many businesses offer
scholarships to the children of their employees!
-
Find
out if your parents are members of any non-profit group or
fraternal organization that offers scholarships to members'
children.
-
Do
your own scholarship search online using a search engine like
google. Use a combination of key words like
"scholarship automotive Wisconsin technician" and
research the opportunities to see if you qualify.
-
Note: Many
scholarships are made available specifically for residents
of a particular state or county, single parents, adult
returning students, active volunteers, people already
employed in a particular field, patrons of a particular
business, women, individuals of a particular ethnic
background or nationality, etc. Leave no stone
unturned! You may qualify for several different
scholarships!
-
Don't overlook
scholarship and grant opportunities from industry-related
manufacturers and organizations like: automotive and
truck manufacturers, parts manufacturers and businesses,
racing organizations, trade associations, industry chemical
distributors, etc.
-
Use
a FREE online scholarship search service. But beware of
scams! You shouldn't have to pay for this service or pay
to get a scholarship, and remember, there is no such thing as a
"guaranteed" scholarship. Some resources to
