Hello, Students and Parents,



One of the many challenges facing students and parents is the cost of a college education. I have provided some links that I hope will be helpful in your search for colleges and financial assistance.

Be sure you contact local service and business organizations such as the Lions, Kiwanis, Rotary, Farm Bureau, etc. Many of these organizations offer scholarships that are often overlooked.

I would also encourage you to explore financial aid through the college you plan to attend. The earlier you start exploring the options, the better the potential for receiving financial aid.

Please note that I do not endorse any of the miscellaneous sites. I also know that these are just a few of the sites available on the world wide web.

Best of Luck.
