Answer 2

Scholarships are for those who are in college.  If they are federal loans, you might consider working in the fields the govt will forgive all or part of the loan (Head start workers, police officers, teachers, those who work with the disabled).  Here is a book that details it better.  Also, some employers like the fed govt will pay on old loans.
