Search engines
Use a search engine such as www.google.com. In the search bar, type scholarships, grants, fellowships and list your attributes, such as your culture/ethnicity, race, sex, physical attributes, hobbies, etc. An example would be "scholarships, graduate student, German, woman, disabled" or "grants, graduate student, African American, school psychology", etc. Try multiple combinations.

There may be scholarship opportunities available to you of which you never knew. As every student's situation in life is different, here are some questions to ask yourself and others.

• Does your or your family member's employer offer tuition reimbursement?
• Does your state's Department of Education have loan forgiveness programs and other aid possibilities? California, for example, http://www.cde.ca.gov, will forgive a portion of your loan if you teach in an impoverished area.
• Do you belong to any professional organizations, alumni networks, community centers, etc. that may offer aid?
• Do you or a family member work for a county that offers aid?

Keep asking questions - you never know what opportunities you may discover!
