	Scholarships advertised in magazines that your family may subscribe to and/or read
	Your high school guidance office for postings
	DO an online search using GOOGLE (You’ll be surprised at what you get back!)
	For example- Type in an area of interest and add scholarship to the search, e.g. skateboarding scholarship FBLA scholarship… left-handed golf scholarships… Little-people scholarship… Native American scholarship etc.

Armed with all these scholarship sources, you then must work in partnership with your student to submit and follow-up on all applications. The money is out there. YOU and YOUR STUDENT must work to get it! Good Luck!
