Outside scholarships:
Private scholarships (also known as outside awards) are monies provided by donors outside the college. Such awards may range from a few hundred dollars given by a local service club, to several thousand dollars awarded by a corporation. Numerous scholarships are also available to full and part-time students.
BEWARE OF SCHOLARSHIP SCAMS!
Do not waste your money on fee-based scholarship matching services. You will not get any better information than you can get from the free services available on the Web. Scholarships that sound too good to be true usually are. Learn how to recognize and protect yourself from the most common scholarship scams.
The Number One Tip: If you have to pay money to get money, it is probably a scam.
If you receive a scholarship from a group or individual, inform them of your gratitude and your progress. A letter of thanks goes a long way toward encouraging renewal of these awards. You can find out more about the availability of private scholarships by doing a little research. The SUNY Ulster Mcdonald DeWitt Library maintains a list of library sources for scholarships.
