Scholarship Search Sites

Your department head and university financial aid officers are good sources of information about scholarships for which you might be eligible. But it doesn't hurt to do a little searching on your own.

Be careful: Many so-called scholarships are little more than marketing schemes. And beware of any scholarship that requires you to pay for a chance to be considered.

There's no one central clearinghouse of all the legitimate graduate scholarships and fellowships, but here are a few reputable sites to try:

• scholarsite.com
• scholarships.fatomei.com
• cgsnet.org
• gradschool.cornell.edu
• gradschool.unh.edu
• fellowships.ssrc.org
• gdnet.ucla.edu
• sciencecareers.sciencemag.org
• lib.msu.edu
