College List (pt. 11)
November 6th 2007 15:32
It has been a very long time since I've done one of these. Hopefully soon I will have more time to create these posts. For today, I'm only going to be doing three colleges.
In an attempt to be the most helpful site in affording college, I will be doing a continuing piece on specific colleges and universities in the United States and their scholarships/websites. (I will try hitting ones outside of the US at a later time). My brief summary of each will include a link to their financial aid page as well as other information I think may be helpful.
I plan on going in alphabetical order by state, and then in alphabetical order by the colleges in the state. I will be covering Divisions I, II, and III because every student has different needs. Each piece will cover at least one college from each Division.
Division I:
Cal State Northridge: The financial aid mainpage can be found from the links on the left of the front page. Scholarships can be found on the left of that page under "types of aid." Both institutional and "off-campus" scholarships are on that page; just scroll down. That page makes it look as if there are only two campus scholarships. If you want to check out federal work study, click here. Tuition and fees can be found here.
Division II:
Humboldt State University: What I immediately like about this school - they put the WUE program directly on their front page for possible students to see. (I now have a separate post to explain this here). Their financial aid mainpage can be found using the quicklinks dropdown menu on the front page. From that page you need to click on the "apply for aid" tab at the top and then click on types of aid on the right. Scroll most of the way down for information on scholarships. It says most of them don't require a separate form - that you are entered for them by filling out your fafsa. For those that do, click here(PDF). They also have a database of scholarships that include institutional as well as local and national scholarships. Cost of attendance can be found here.
Division III:
Menlo College: To get to tuition, scholarships and financial aid, you need to click on the "prospective students" tab at the top and then you will see "tuition, scholarships and financial aid" under admissions to the left. It appears as if there is not an extra form for scholarships. All information they give about tuition and scholarships is found on that page. I could not find a federal work study link.
Check out the College List archives here.
Advice from my own personal experience:
** Schedule a campus visit!!
** Send an email to the school and see how quickly and efficiently they respond. This will be an indicator of how they will be once you're there.
If there is a college you don’t think I will get to soon enough that you really would like to know about, leave a comment (or send an email!) with the full name of the college/university along with the location of it and I will put it in the next edition of “College Lists;” (this can include universities outside of the US!) The lists I am following can be found at: wikipedia.
If there is anything else you think I should be including, please let me know!
