How to find Scholarships other than Sports Scholarships

Most of the emphasis on Virtual Athletic Director is placed on sports scholarships. Although having a school pay your tuition to play a sport is a great way to handle the expense of secondary education it is by no means the only. Many D3 programs offer tremendous enviroments for not only learning but also college athletics. For example, an ESPN poll ranks the rivalry between Hope College and Calvin College, both D3 schools, as the 4th best rivalry in all of college basketball. That says a lot about the enviroment those two teams compete in. The main difference between these schools and the rest of the college basketball is that as a D3 school they are not permitted to give athletic scholarships. Unfortunately, due to the fact these schools are private and do not receive federal funding they are forced to charge higher tuition. If you think D3 might be the place for you it is important to examine all avenues to divert the cost. There are several services online that help students find money for school that they otherwise might not be aware of. For example, FastWeb Free Scholarship Search , a Monster company, offers a no cost searchable database with something like 600,000 searchable scholarships. Certainly worth the time of signing up. The same goes for Scholarships Experts and many other free services that only require a couple minutes to sign up but could turn out to be worth a lot more. If you have any questiosn about these programs feel free to ask in our comment section.

We will post more free services as we come across them.
