I have a granddaughter who wants to go college, but seems to stand at distance with any scholorships. So send me information were she can get a scholorship right now. And a son of my who wants to finish his upper graduate shcool.
To look I would suggest go to Fastweb.com and register. Your granddaughter will find plenty of scholorships. Also with your son he too can do the same exact thing. Wish you all the best of many blessing
Are you a registered member of a tribe that offers a scholarship? My tribe offers any member going to college up to $2000/semester. I would have never gotten through school without it.
I am a Canadian citizen, which means my reservation is also in Canada. I am currently enrolled in a University, but I’m wondering if I can still receive a scholarship even though I was not born here or a member of any bands down here? I could really use any help you can offer in helping find the right scholarship for me. Thank you.
You’ll have to check with each one. They will all have their own requirements.
