Student Scholarship Databases Barbara Gray 19 Sep 1996 11:01 EST

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.            :-)
