I found your article today and wonder if you have a resource for 2011 scholarships? My daughter is a freshman and we saved enough for the fall semester but struggle to find enough funds for the spring semester...she did receive two scholarships but I've had difficulty finding a reputable source of scholarships that may help us finish this first year.

Thank you !!

Scholarships and grants are an excellent source of money to pay for college. However, most people don't have the time or energy to do exhaustive scholarship searches. And even if they have the time, there is so much information out there that it can be totally overwhelming! I spent my son's entire senior year searching for scholarships, and yes, it paid off! As a result of all my hard work and the experience I gained, I founded Scholar Dollars, and we provide personalized scholarship searches for students. We focus on finding more obscure and local and regional scholarships that are not well known and harder to find, which means that our clients have a better chance of winning! You can find more information at www (dot) Scholar-Dollars (dot) com. Of course, the ultimate result and money won depends on the student's motivation, determination, and commitment. You certainly won’t win any scholarships if you don’t apply for them. But the money is definitely there if you are willing to work for it!
