Financial Aid and Scholarships

FastWeb One of the largest databases on the internet, FastWeb is a good place to begin to search for outside scholarship opportunities. PLEASE NOTE: in addition to searching sites like this, it's perhaps even more important to search the financial aid and scholarship sections on the websites of every college or university to which you apply. Often, institutionally specific scholarship deadlines occur prior to stated admissions application deadlines.
 
FinAid! Another resource for scholarship searches.
 
Free App. for Fed. Stud. Aid - FAFSA This link will take you directly to the U.S. government site where you can complete the federal financial aid form on-line. Almost all colleges and universities require this form to be completed to apply for need-based aid. PLEASE NOTE: Even if you believe that your family will not qualify for need-based assistance, completion of the FAFSA is also required for students and parents who wish to borrow funds from federally sponsored loan programs like Stafford Loans and PLUS (Parent Loans for Undergraduate Study) Loans. Additionally, all students hoping to qualify for the Tennessee Lottery's Hope Scholarship program must also comple the FAFSA. In all cases the FAFSA may not be filed before January 1st of a student's senior year in H.S.
 
CSS-Financial Aid PROFILE In addition to completing the FAFSA, some colleges and universites also require families to complete a more detailed application to fully assess a family's financial need.

MBA's Merit-based Awards for Selected Colleges and Universities As the result of a very generous anonomyous gift, MBA encourages our talented students to consider a group of our nation's most renowned colleges and universities. In support of that, the school will reimburse up to $500 in travel related expenses for campus visits by accepted students, and we will grant a one-time award of $2500 to each young man who matriculates at one of the target schools. The schools are: Amherst, Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Duke, Harvard, U. Pennsylvania, Princeton, Stanford, Williams, and Yale.
