College of Cash - finding money for college

College List (pt. 9)

September 3rd 2007 15:23
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:

Arkansas State University
Arkansas State University: A link for “financial aid and scholarships” can be found at the bottom of their homepage. From that, click on the bottom link again to get to the main financial aid page. On the left of that page, there is a link for “Scholarships.” The top links are for institutional scholarships. There is also a link for “Privately Funded Scholarships” that leads to departmental scholarships. Again on the main financial aid page, there is a link for “Types of Aid.” From this you can get to Federal Work Study information. A link at the bottom provides even more info! I found their tuition and fees page by going through the A to Z index.



University of Central Arkansas
University of Central Arkansas: The easiest way to their financial aid page is through the A to Z index. On the left of that page is the link to “Scholarships.” There are five links of different types of scholarships on that page. You should definitely check them all out. It may be the most scholarships I’ve seen listed at a school! Federal Work Study took a while to find, but under “Available Programs” and then “Federal Programs” you will see it. Links to tuition and fees can be found here.





Division II:

There are eight schools listed at wikipedia under Cal State. I will cover four this time and four next time.

California State University

Cal Poly Pomona, Bakersfield, Chico, Dominguez Hills.

CPP: Financial aid main page. “Scholarships” are to the left, and “More Scholarships” are to the right. “Costs” are also to the left as is Federal Work Study.

Bakersfield: Click on “future students” and then “scholarships” to get here. “Tuition and Fees” are found under “Campus Services.” From the first link, scholarships are found under “Student Programs and Scholarships.”

Chico: Financial aid main page. “Scholarships” can be found to the left on that page. From the scholarships page, you can see a link for “Cost of Attendance” to the left.

DH: Financial aid main page can be found from the quick links at the top right. On the left of the main page is the link for “Scholarships.” I had to go through the index to get to Tuition and Fees.


Division III:

La Sierra University
La Sierra University: Click on “future students” on the homepage to get to all the financial links you’ll need. “Costs and Fees” is to the left. “Scholarships” is in the center of the page, under “Things You Might Want to Know About.” “Jobs on campus” is in the same place. Many more links can be found under “Financial Services, Student” in the index.

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!
