The best place to visit is your careers guidance councillor. You can find one of these at your current high school or college, or alternatively at your local citizens advice bureau.
One of the best places to find out information about Minority scholarships would be to visit the web site of the open Education Database. Here you will be able to find a wealth of information about what scholarships are available and for what courses.
The Teachers College - Columbia University has some scholarships, this is the only university that I found, but this URL can help, http://www.collegescholarships.org/scholarships/teaching-students.htm Most scholarships are granted by organizations separate from any particular university or college. For minority scholarships I would suggest taking a look at http://www.blackexcel.org/100minority.htm for more information.
Before looking for scholarships based on heritage, one would do well to seek out government assistance on Fafsa.ed.gov . By entering your personal information there you will know in a matter of moments if you are eligible for Federal help. As for scholarships based on background and heritage, one would have to seek information at the particular college you plan to attend, through the financial aid office.
Some really good sites for information on college scholarships would be upromise.com, cappex.com, educationconnection.com, and especially scholarships.com.
Fastweb.com, collegescholarships.org, and finaid.org are excellent websites to get all the information you will need about college scholarships. Also ask local businesses if they are offering scholarships, you would be surprised at all the scholarships you can find without even knowing they existed. Another good idea is to ask your college if they give out scholarships for participating in extracurricular activities at their school.
Well, I would recommend talking with a counselor or teacher to inquire about the scholarships available to student in the Michigan area. However, there are also many scholarships offered towards a variety of students.
First, I would fill out the fafsa, it will send results to Wake Forest and you will then be eligible to receive financial aid, including scholarships, through the school. I would also look into scholarships that are specific to your area of interest. There are very often scholarships available to students who are in specific fields. Also, minority scholarships are there for more than just race minorities... women are eligible, socioeconomic status can make you eligible, etc. Good Luck!
I would check with your local colleges first. Also fill out financial aid information forms for the federal government and the state to try and maximize you potential for grants and loans and scholarships.
Some of the scholarships for minority include: Ron Brown Scholarships, United Negro College Fund Scholarships, Jackie Robinson Foundation Scholarships, Thurgood Marshall Scholarship Fund, United Negro College Fund, Gates Millennium Scholarships, McDonald's Scholarships, Urban League Scholarships, National Merit Scholarships
You can find more information about college scholarships for any state at collegescholarships.org. If you cannot afford college another resource would be to apply for federal financial aid.
Your college financial aid office will be able to let you know what scholarships that you may be eligible for. The psychology department at your college should also be able to offer you similar information. The psychology department would be the better choice as they would have more demographics on the students so they would be informed of scholarships for students first hand.
I would look into scholarships that are from your hometown. Many high schools offer scholarships for students. I would then look into scholarships you can get at your college and national ones. Many people do not take the time to apply for scholarships, so you have a great chance on receiving one.
