Take advantage of the network you, your family and your friends have developed.

• If you are still in high school, meet with your high school counselor and ask what scholarships are offered by your high school and the surrounding community.
• Check with your friends.  What scholarships did they apply for?
• Read announcements and local newspapers for local scholarship opportunities.
• Are you active in a club or student organization?  Check and see if they offer scholarships at a local, regional, or national level.
• Does your church, synagogue, mosque or other religious affiliation offer scholarships?  Ask!
• Ask University Community - Ask about scholarship opportunities when you talk with Kent State staff, academic advisors, faculty, and other students.  Someone might know about a new or upcoming resource to check out.
