Scholarships and Free Money, continued.

Folks, March Madness is upon us.

As some of the most talented students in the country battle it out through the next three rounds, we've been getting a lot of questions about new zinch scholarships, next years sweet-diggity-dawg award, and what the options are for students who still need free money.

For those of you in need, check out my blog post from a few months back about the top five ways to get free money for college. Be sure to read the comments as well -- some great ideas were added by Zinchers (congrats again Nancy!).

At this point, you should all have accounts on the major scholarship aggregators, you should keep them updated, and you should click the box to let them send you information. 

Here are the big ones: 

FastWeb.com

ScholarshipExperts.com

FreeScholarshipGuide.com

The other thing you should do is find others giving out large scholarships. They might not be as cool as Zinch, but they are out there. For instance, CareersandEducation.com gives out a $10,000 scholarship, and just requires you to register.

To those in the Sweet 16, good luck. To the rest of you, fear not, there is more money out there to help finance your education.

As always, if you have other ideas to share with your fellow zinchers, feel free to share! What scholarship engines work for you?
