Finding Funds
A Guide to College Scholarships By Gwen Morrison
At public colleges, the HOPE scholarship provides full tuition, approved mandatory fees and a $150 per semester book allowance. At private colleges, the HOPE provides $3,000 per year. Students may also qualify for the Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant of $1045 per academic year.
This opportunity is available for all legal Georgia residents who have not yet earned a bachelor's degree, who first entered college in Georgia as a legal resident and are entering their sophomore year or later.
The HOPE is a unique scholarship that is largely funded by the Georgia Lottery for Education. Since its induction in 1993, there have been more than 600,000 students who have received more than $1.5 billion through the program.
Money for College is an easy-to-understand guide that provides college-bound students with complete college scholarship, financial aid and college admission application strategies.
Another very detailed guide to financial aid and scholarship information is The Financial Aid Book: The Insider's Guide to Private Scholarships, Grants, Fellowships, Internships, Competitions and Loans. This thorough, step-by-step book guides students through the directory listing of scholarships and grants. It also provides information on scholarship matching services. There is a complete section about the application process with helpful instructions that explain how to write winning essays, application letters and how to fill out all the paperwork involved.
At the back of The Financial Aid Book, there is a personal data form which will aid in pinpointing your teen's key areas of interest. This will make it easier to match their personal profile with all available scholarships. There are more than 3,000 listings in this book for college financial aid.
