I need money to go to college?

Question

I am an african american girl with a little cherokee indian in me(my mom's grandmother is full-blooded). I am really wanting to go to Howard University in the fall of 2009, but my mom says that if I dont get money then I cant go. I need some info on black scholarships that give out money. Webites would be nice. Please help me, I really want to live in DC!!

NO LOANS!!!!!! That is just another word for DEBT!

Answer 1

You can do it!  Here are some possibilities that don't require taking out loans:

* Howard University - "Grants & Scholarships"

* Fastweb

* GrantsNet

* Your local high school, public, or college library - ask a librarian for the college scholarship section, which should have some of these books:

Answer 2

I plan on attending Howard University in the fall of '09 too. My parents are the same way as your mom. They want me to stay in state because its cheaper. But I have my heart set on Howard. But what I did is I went on these two websites that gave me information about Howard University and scholarship information. The two websites are:

www.hbcuconnect.com ( very good because its gives a lot of info on all HBCUs )

www.collegeconfidential.com ( has info on all universities and great scholarship info)

But hope this helps...feel free to email or whateva if u need anymore help..Hope we both become Bisons in the near future!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

Try fastweb.com for smaller scholarships. You can also try UNCF (United N*gro College Fund), but, Howard University is not one of their member colleges. You can also file for financial aid!
