Help with Scholarship Searches: Parents of seniors, take note. Many colleges and universities offer scholarship and award programs for outstanding students. The College and Career Information website maintains a list of scholarships and deadlines. Check back often as the list is updated frequently. Information about available scholarships also can be found in high school College and Career Centers. In addition, free websites can help find scholarships and grants. Sites such as www.fastweb.com and www.schoolsoup.com match national scholarships with students' needs and interests. Remember to search wisely. Beware of scholarship scams.
