Web Sites of Searchable Scholarship Data bases

DISCLAIMER: This list of scholarship web sites represents only a very small portion of financial aid-related pages available on the Web. Some sites have specific information of psychology-related funding, some don't. However, I believe you can definitely find at least a couple of scholarships or fellowships that are relevant to your unique personal background and interests. Also, these web pages may or may not be up at a certain point of time. Please inform someone in the peer advising department if you find a nonexistent page.

THERE IS NO EASY MONEY. Your scholarship search may be a very time-consuming research process with no guarantee of fruitful results. But if you are serious, patient, thorough, detail-attentive, and very assertive, and if you commit yourself to this part-time job of hunting down free money for your education, you will emerge wiser and richer than you once were. Good luck!
