College List (pt. 7)
July 31st 2007 15:37
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:
Northern Arizona University: From the quicklinks dropdown menu I got to the financial aid homepage. On the top right, click on “Types of Aid” to get to Scholarships, Loans, Work Study/Employment, and other links. Another link for “Important Scholarships” is also on that page. This school also participates in the WUE program that I mentioned for Alaska Fairbanks (pt. 5). Tuition and fees can be found here. There are separate links for each semester.
University of Arkansas: Their financial aid main page has most of the links you’ll need to the left. Hold your mouse over “Types of Aid” and click on scholarships. To the left are links for high school seniors, and current students. They also have a link for outside scholarships. It looks as if there are ones for graduates and transfers, but the graduate link says to go somewhere else and the transfer link says “page under construction.” COA can be found here. The links to Work Study are on the financial aid main page, but information can be found here (PDF).
Division II:
Harding University: The link to Admissions & Aid is right on their main page. Scroll down on that page and click on “Funding” for information on tuition discounts. Scholarships can be found here. COA can be found here. For some reason there is another scholarship page that has more scholarships on it.
***For the italicized links go here first then click on "Prospective Undergraduate Students." On that page click on "prepare for college." That link will take you to a page where COA and "Harding Scholarships" can be found. For some reason it won't let me paste those links.***
Henderson State University: The financial aid main page (from the quicklinks dropdown menu) has links to scholarships and work study information. COA is found here.
Division III:
Chapman University: Again, a quicklinks dropdown menu to the financial aid homepage. From that page, you must click on one of the links to the left, whether you are prospective, undergraduate, graduate, law student, and which campus it is. Once you click on those links, more appear to the left to help with financial aid. For instance, under prospective students I found Tuition Exchange Program. Also important is the Institutional Aid link. These are the scholarships given by the university. (Of course I had to find this link through admissions and not the financial aid page. This makes no sense).

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!
