Below
are free scholarship searches on the World Wide Web. The
best time to use these scholarship search services is one
year prior to your college enrollment. Deadlines for private
scholarships typically range from October to March. The
MU Student Financial Aid Office can not guarantee the accuracy
of these scholarship searches but we recommend you try
them since there is no cost involved. Also, talk with your
high school guidance counselor who may know of local scholarships
not listed.
