See Below for online scholarships (8 pages)Online ScholarshipsRead carefully to ensure eligibility – some scholarship essays are forall levels of high school. K.S. (Control/Click to access website). Online scholarship opportunities are abundant, as are online scholarship searches. There are even scholarshipprograms specifically for students who also attend class online. Technological advances and marked increasesin access to the Internet have revolutionized the scholarship world, allowing all kinds of college students andcollege-bound students more access to money for college than ever before. Of course, in addition to offering ahost of scholarship information, application, and awards, the online world can also propagate scholarshipmyths and scams.Avoiding ScamsSo how can you tell what scholarship information is legitimate and what isn’t? Read up on the telltale signs ofscholarship scams, search only through free and reputable scholarship websites, and when in doubt, researchthe company offering the scholarship or search service. Look for Better Business Bureau complaints and ties toknown or suspected scammers. Check out their privacy policies and professional affiliations, as well. There aredefinitely sources of valuable scholarship information online, but if someone’s offering you something thatsounds entirely too good to be true or trying to charge you a fee to access information, be wary.Additionally, if a scholarship provider is offering you a small award for a fee, asking for credit card or bankinginformation, guaranteeing you’ll win, or otherwise sounding less than legitimate, watch out. Do your researchand make sure that the scholarships you’re spending time on are offered by real organizations with realintentions of helping real students attend college. One quick and easy way to protect yourself from scholarshipscams is to use a free scholarship search, like the one provided by Scholarships.com, that reviews each awardlisted in its database to make sure users don’t get scammed.Applying OnlineSo you’ve discovered that in addition to finding scholarships online, you can also apply for scholarshipswithout wasting paper or stamps. Being able to type and electronically submit your application increasesconvenience and cuts down on the possibility of error, provided you take a few basic steps to ensure that yourscholarship application process goes smoothly.While some online scholarship applications allow you to save your work and come back to it later, this is notthe case with every form. So before beginning the application, spend some time getting organized and makingsure you have everything you’ll need to submit written out and saved on your computer, especially if thescholarship provider requires an essay. That way you can take your time to review your online scholarshipapplication before you submit it, without having to worry about losing all your progress if the application pagetimes out or your connection drops while you’re in the middle of applying. Then, when you have everythingready, you’ll just need to upload your saved work, e-mail it as an attachment, or copy and paste it into theappropriate forms as instructed by the scholarship provider.To increase your chances of winning scholarships, it’s also good to run all application materials through aspellchecker (and by at least one other human being, as well) before you hit the submit button. That way youcan avoid embarrassing typos or other mistakes likely to dissuade scholarship reviewers from awarding youany scholarship money. When you have access to numerous free spellchecking tools, dictionaries, thesauruses,and guides to modern English grammar at your fingertips, there’s no excuse for obvious errors in a scholarshipapplication. Even when penmanship isn’t a factor, sloppy writing and poor formatting can still disqualify youfrom a scholarship competition.
