Outside Scholarships: Students may use free online scholarship searches to locate money for college. Students should never pay for help finding financial aid. Legitimate scholarship searches and financial aid help should be free. The following is a list of free online scholarship searches we encourage students to use.
Students are also encouraged to check with their high school counselors, employers, parents' employers, churches, or any other community organizations they are members of, in order to find other grant or scholarship programs.
DC Tuition Assistance Grant Program: The D.C. Tuition Assistance Grant Program provides funding to Washington D.C. students to attend post secondary institutions anywhere in the nation. Under this program, the federal government pays the difference between in-state tuition and out-of-state tuition. Need is not a determining factor. To be considered for this award you must be a resident of Washington D.C., and you must complete D.C. Tuition Assistance Grant application. This application is available online at www.tuitiongrant.washingtondc.gov. For more information on this program please contact the D.C. Mayor's Office by calling (202) 727-2824.
College Bound: The CollegeBound Foundation is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to encouraging and enabling Baltimore City public school students to go to
College. One method by which we accomplish that mission is through the award of scholarships to worthy students. Together with the generosity of individuals, organizations, foundations and businesses sponsoring these awards, CollegeBound hopes to lighten the burden of financing a college education.
The Last Dollar Grant is a need-based award for Baltimore City public high school graduates whose expected family contribution and financial aid package total less than the cost to attend college. Students who are awarded a CollegeBound Foundation Last Dollar Grant are eligible to receive a grant up to $3,000 per year, renewable for up to five (5) years of college or the maximum amount of $15,000. This money is gift money which does not have to be repaid.
