10.22.07 | Scholarships = FREE MONEY FOR GRADUATE SCHOOL
Sometimes I feel like a broken record - clean out the fridge, load up on vitamin C during cold season, clean the closets, etc. But, there is one tip that I cannot stress enough - when financing a graduate school education, always look at scholarships for FREE MONEY. The Student Loan Network offers a few options for Graduate students who are looking to add a little more funding to their existing financial aid package of Stafford and Graduate PLUS loans or private student loans.
Check out ScholarshipPoints.com - it’s a new, interactive way to earn points towards a monthly drawing of $250 and a quarterly drawing of $1000. All you need to do is fill out surveys, review products or refer friends - the points start to add up and you get entered into the drawings. Warning - I’m back to my broken record self, I think, but why doesn’t want to get an additional source of graduate school funding??
Another great site is StudentScholarshipSearch.com. This site is a bit more traditional in the sense that you need to fill out the applications and fulfill the requirements of the scholarship before you can be considered. However, isn’t it worth it?
Take advantage - CASH IN!!

I have been accepted into the Master of Music degree program in Piano at the University of South Florida in Tampa for the 2009-2010 academic year. I am elated to have this chance, since I placed my aspirations on hold for thirty years. I would like to finance the required $72,000.00 for the entire study period without the use of loans. If there are any sources that offer money that does not have to be paid back , please let me know. Thank- you for your assistance.

Hey Paul, I just visited a grad school and they told me that there was a paper that could be filled out through your grad school about previous loans to defer them. They told me that the financial aid people took care of most of it. I know I’m going to look into it so I can go to grad school. Again!!!!!, its a DEFERMENT PAPER! Anyone know where to get a good grant or scholarships for a private school.
