First, complete your high school education. Study hard and try to find some volunteer work with younger students or be a tutor in a subject area where you excel. Identify a university or college you would like to attend. Take the ACT or SAT, apply to the university or college of your choice, fill out a FAFSA, and then discuss the options as an education major with your advisor. Talk with the admissions department and the financial aid departments at universities you would like to attend. Talk with some of your own teachers.
your right to start looking now….
there are PLENTY for teachers out there… its just hard to find them sometimes. there are sites that charge for this free info, so avoid those sites if you can…
because this info is free, and you shouldnt have to pay to find the info.
here are the links you may need. i know its a lot, but save them, and take your time picking through them… its worth it.
——————
There are government loans & grants, and then there are private loans & scholarships.
try to aim for grants/scholarships more… they are not to be paid back. its confusing sometimes, but just keep applying. Scholarships usually have a 1 or 2 page application, and require an essay. Take your time with the essay, so yours stands out.
every big (and small) company you see (manufacturer, orgs, corps and groups also) all have grants and scholarships they hand out like candy. Walmart, Kmart, Target, Coke, computer companies etc etc etc
here are some links with a HUGE list of what is available. some you will need to copy and paste into a new window. also, fastweb (take the time to fill it in) will search databases and get back to you with a list of scholarships you qualify for.
Also contact all mens, womens associations in your state, they almost always have grants & scholarships. What ever field you are going into, contact the orgs, associations etc for them; Also check with professional organizations related to your career interests, such as the American Bar Association or the American Medical Association. they also always have scholarships. Research and dig, call then write. Its all worth it.
OVER apply; it doesnt hurt to have too many, and the extra funds can help with housing.
