Private Scholarships
Anything a student brings in as a private scholarship is considered over and above what the school offers as part of their financial aid package. This means that the award will directly reduce a student's out-of-pocket costs. Good places to research for private scholarships include the websites www.finaid.org and www.fastweb.com. Oregon students should also look at www.osac.state.or.us (this is the Oregon State Scholarship Commission website).		 Varies
