How To Find Outside Scholarships
Please Note: West A EEP is not a scholarship search organization but we do teach how to FIND Scholarships
Check Sources.....Ask other parents and peers, search company websites (e.g. utility companies).
USE GOOGLE – Yep! The list literally changes every time you search! Try these search terms:
“College Scholarships 2020”
“College Scholarships”
“Company College Scholarships”
etc.
Search 2-3 times per week!
ONLY APPLY WHEN YOU MEET THE SCHOLARSHIP REQUIREMENTS
Print out and read ALL forms and directions
Record the due dates on a digital calendar with a reminder (Pro-tip: Set a few days before it’s actually due)!
How EEP Can Help With Scholarships
Recommendations = OK if you are regular attendee and our program Director, Deacon John Wilson actually KNOWS the student from SAT Class or After School.
Otherwise, someone who knows you personally is best.
Submit recommendation requests to Deacon John Wilson 2 weeks in advance!
Need web address and form(s) plus the specific person to which the letter will be addressed too.
Members = West Angeles Sponsorship Fund Award. Yes we will recommendation you for this award if we see fit!
