As with any topic, there are thousands of Web sites about college
admission and scholarships. These are just a few for general
information. You are encouraged to visit the Web site of the particular
college you are interested in. Also, a word of caution: It is not
necessary to pay for scholarship search. Your student can do that work
himself free of charge. Parents, be sure to check areas titles
“Educators” or “Counselors” for more detailed information.
