Fastweb.com or Scholarships.com, come to mind and to your web search engine when you type in scholarships. These two websites offer the ability to be able to look for different scholarships and opportunities for money to be used toward higher education costs, yet many individuals dont use them, why?
The reason to that question is because of the uninformed looking at the wrong places, or simply not looking at all. Many individuals dont bother to look for alternative ways of paying for school, because they belive that since they dont have enough money for college that they're better off not going to school. Its time we change this attitude, I'm pledging to inform individuals in my community of the many different opportunistic scholarships that are available for individuals regardless of what career they're shooting for.
With that being said, will you join me?
Join me by informing the needy individuals of all the good things that these website mentioned above bring along. I will begin, by simply creating a myspace page, in which I will add many young adults and spread the information that is needed to begin a scholarship search. These young adults wll come from my community and other nearby communities, and I encourage the masses to do the same, if we do this, we can get more people into college, and help future generations move forward!
The reason I didn't sign up for FastWeb at first is because I thought it was a scam or something. Then I actually signed up for it and it turned out to be MUY helpful!
Now, this scholarships.com thing... I haven't heard about it.
I think the main reason why people don't go looking for scholarships online is because of all the scams. It's hard to tell the difference between what's legit and what's a ruse.

FastWeb is not a "scam" per se, but it does give you a ton of junk, whether it be through email or just searching through the site itself. However it can be helpful. It led me to this site.
