Student Scholarship Databases

Following are the results of my query regarding the availablity of databases
for student scholarships. I had asked for a faculty member with a
college-bound daughter, so I have not checked any of these out closely. I
do know that some are free and others aren't.
1. Scholarship Resource Network
http://www.rams.com/srn
Sold to institutions to run their own searches
2. Stanford's AWARDS database
http://uac-server.stanford.edu/Page/AWARDS/Aw.html
There is some cost
3. fastWEB-Financial Aid Search
http://www.studentservices.com/fastweb/
Designed for student use (student develops profile)
Free searchable database of 180,000 private scholarships
Some fee-based services also available
1-800-327-8932
(Note: Can also be accessed through Univ. of NV-Reno home page,
http://www.unr.edu/unr/ospa/index.html)
4. Financial Aid Information Page (formerly Carnegie Mellon Finacial Aid Page)
http://www.finaid.org/
Extensive database with links, but no serarch capabilities
Maintained by the financial aid officers' professional organization
Thanks to everyone who responded. :-)
