If you are looking only for scholarship listings, scroll on down
to the table below.
Wouldn’t it be nice to know if you get what you are paying
for? Try this website's college rating
system.
A word of caution: Some
offers of financial aid advice come with a price. Here is what we have learned about EdiFi
College Financial Aid Services. On one blog there were lots of
complaints. Some claim to have benefited
to the ratio of $12,000 for $800 cost.
Apparently people are encouraged to sign contracts after the free
seminar. The company then does the FAFSA
and other scholarship paperwork for the family.
No refunds are allowed, you cannot back out of a contract. It may work, but an F rating is not confidence
building. The company refutes this by
saying it has thousands of satisfied customers and only 150 or so registered
complaints. No government action is
pending. I guess they do the paperwork
for busy or confused people and thus do provide a service for a fee. Here are some BBB reports.

Basics on Financing Your College Education
If you see something you are interested in drop me a note or visit the URLs
listed there. Start making contact with the financial aid offices of the
school(s) you are most interested in.
Establish a relationship. Talk to
the department of the majors you are interested in. They won’t be able to finalize anything with
you until they have the FAFSA, but you will be ahead of the game for
consideration of that school’s financial aid pot.

Here is the official government site for
information on scholarships. It includes

patient and keep clicking!: studentaid2

Special Note 2:
Here is a website that lets colleges know what you are looking for and gets
them in contact with you. Although it is
not about scholarships, check this one out!
http://www.cappex.com/index.jsp
Special Note 3: I start sending Cal Grant GPA verifications
as soon as I can, last school year it was early December. I start with the highest GPA students and
work my way down through the list as long as I have your social security
number. If I don’t have it, I come to
find you. The verification is sent
electronically to the Cal Grant site. We
have not used hard copy forms for 5 years now.
Please do not bring paper
copies from the financial aid offices in to be filled out as this just slows
down the process. I can provide you with
the date I upload your gpa to the state.
I am now using Naviance to notify you when I sent the gpa verification
to the state. I’m also using it to ask
you for your social security number if you have not provided it to the
school. Therefore, it is to your
advantage to leave an e-mail address for the school. You
can create your own account on WebGrants for Students and check 24/7 on
application status, manage awards, update address, view payment history, file a
school change, or leave of absence using this address: www.webgrants4Students.org

You can drop me a note for confirmation if you prefer. Remember only 10th and 11th
grade courses are included in the average. PE and remedial classes (classes
taken in 10-11grade that make up for 9th grade classes) are dropped
and all grades are changed to a four point scale regardless of honors
status. A weighted average is used if
any of your grades did not receive 5 semester credits, but we are now trying to
align college credits with LAB’s credits to eliminate this problem.
Special Note 4: You’ve been accepted to several colleges and
received financial aid packages from them.
If all else was equal, you would want to compare the net cost to you for each
school. Net cost = Total cost of
attendance minus all grants and all scholarships. Do not include loans or work study in this
calculation.
Special Note 5: Are you interested in possible income tax
savings related to education? Try the
Hope and Lifetime Learning credits. You
can only take one of these in a tax year but the amounts have been recently
increased.

For the year of 2010,
Fernando Award Foundation, Inc., of the San Fernando Valley has established up to ten (10)
College Scholarships of $1,000.00 each, to be awarded to graduating
seniors, from a Valley high school, in June this year. |
O |
Filing deadline for this scholarship is Friday, April
30, 2010. Any application received
with a postmark after April 30, 2010 unfortunately, cannot be considered. DEADLINE PASSED |
The scholarships will be
awarded to the most deserving Valley graduating students based on their
participation in community activities and their volunteerism and are not
limited to one per school. The most
deserving will be recognized. The Fernando Award
represents a lifetime achievement in volunteerism to the San Fernando Valley
community and the Fernando Board of Directors and past recipients has
established a scholarship program for your graduating seniors. Our purpose is to support the youth of our
community in their desire for a higher education and to create a solid
foundation for the future. We feel
that the past recipients of these scholarships may become the future nominees
for the Fernando Award. Grade point average,
although part of the consideration, is NOT the main criteria on which
selection is made. Applications may be found
online at www.FERNANDOAWARDS.ORG,
or email or call me directly. Eligibility: 1.
Applicants must
have participated in community activities or volunteered for programs within
the San Fernando Valley. Please be
sure this is detailed on the Scholarship Application Form. 2.
Each applicant
must be a Valley high school senior, planning to attend a
university, college, or trade school following graduation.
Fernando Award Foundation, Inc. C/o Galpin Ford 15505 Roscoe Blvd. North Hills, CA
91343 Attn: Karl L. Boeckmann, Chairman The successful applicant will receive a Scholarship Certificate at their graduation ceremony. Payment of funds will be made to the scholarship recipient upon proof of their registration. Thank you for
your assistance. For additional information contact: Karl L. Boeckmann, Chairman (818) 778-2112 or email karl@galpin.com |

The Call Me MISTER program 4 years of college for FREE! |

|
Black Male
Teachers
Do you know any Black males who are seniors in high school who want to go to
college out of state for 'FREE' ? Several Black
Colleges are looking for future black male teachers and will send them to
universities/colleges for 4 years FREE. The 'Call
Me MISTER' program is an effort to address the critical shortage of African
American male teachers particularly among South Carolina 's lowest performing
public schools. Program participants are selected from among under-served,
socio-economically disadvantaged and educationally at-risk communities.
The Call Me MISTER program combines the special strengths and resources
of Clemson University with the individualized instructional programs offered
by four historically black colleges in South Carolina : Benedict College ,
Claflin University , Morris College and South Carolina State University . To
provide even greater opportunity and access, students have the option of
first attending one of our two-year partner colleges before transferring to
one of the four-year institutions to complete their baccalaureate degree. In
addition, the project has limited enrollment in the middle school Master of Art
in Teaching program. Please click on the participating schools on the menu to
the left to learn more about these schools' programs.
