How does a scholarship work and when do i get one? I do not know what a scholarship actually is but i am interested on knowing as i hope to get my own scholarship some day. I also want to know specific details such as what programs could lead me to a scholarship and what kind of volunteering is required in order to be awarded a scholarship. Thank you as I am a regular student about to attending college.

Hi hutchina,

A scholarship is "free money" that helps you pay for your education. Unlike a loan, it is something you are awarded by an institution and do not have to pay back. You typically have to fulfill certain criteria (which varies from institution to institution and scholarship to scholarship) in order to be awarded the money.

There are a very large variety of programs that could lead you to a scholarship. No specific kind of volunteering is required, although many volunteer organizations have scholarship awards for their members.

A great resource if you're interested in finding scholarships is http://www.fastweb.com/.

I hope that helps! If you provide me with the specifics of your situation and what you're looking for, I'm glad to help you out further.
