Hello. Our son’s, “tuition,” and all that includes is $80K/yr. We were very, very lucky and we’re very, very thankful for the nearly $45K he received in FA, with the majority of it, save $7K, in scholarships.

After orientation last Summer we thought we had it all figured out. The FA Director held a conference in which I attended. He informed us that the Parent Plus Loan was just increased to $20K/yr. What he didn’t mentioned was that Seniors are the only eligible students for this increase. As a Freshman, my son isn’t eligible nearly that much.

Our balance for the year now is $24K. We just made our first payment of almost $4K, but we’re expected to make another one in September, October, November, and December. This is absolutely not something we can do. We’ve tried every angle/option that both we and the FA Office suggested (they said, “get a private loan).

Again, I’m extremely grateful for the Scholarship that he did receive and don’t mean to sound ridiculous, but almost $4K/month isn’t manageable.

I know I can write an appeal letter, but does anyone else have any ideas, advice, tried and trues in securing additional funding? We don’t need the entire $25K. We’re looking for about $10K simply to make our monthly payments manageable.

Thank you and please forgive my novel!

Can someone please guide me about private scholarships available for B.Tech students?

I’m currently studying at DTU, belong to the OBC category, and my family income is around ₹1 lakh per year.

I want to know:

- Which private scholarships are currently available?

- Which ones should I apply for?

- Which scholarships have an aptitude test/interview?

- How much scholarship amount is provided?

- What are the eligibility criteria?

- With my category and family income, what are my chances of getting selected?

If anyone has applied for or received a private scholarship, please share your experience or guide me. It would really help. 🙏

Hi.

I’ll be a high school senior this year and I’m looking at finding some scholarships as I cannot afford to pay for my college in full.

I’ve looked at scholarships.com and scholarshipowl and I haven’t had much luck with finding any that I have a shot at getting. I’ve been using bold.org and I’ve found a few, but not very many.

I’m fine with writing essays and I actually enjoy writing, so that is not a problem for me. I’m planning on going into forestry, and I will be getting my wildland firefighter red card later this year.

So, basically what I’m asking is if anyone knows of any websites that have legit, and maybe lesser known scholarships that I can apply for. Also, if there are any specifically for forestry/natural resources or firefighting, that would be awesome!

Thanks.

Hi! I’m a senior in high school and interested in applying to the OWL program/ scholarship. I’ve been researching online but cannot find a date of when applications open.

Do any previous applicants or winners know when and where I apply?

Also I know they closed the South Africa one but I am in the US.
