I read an interesting article in American Libraries a few weeks ago about a great niche for libraries to fill–researching and collecting information about local scholarships. Odds are much better for receiving a scholarship from the local Kiwanis club than with a national competition.
The author gives some great tips for finding those local resources. Maybe your school guidance counsellor already does this–if they don’t, they will certainly be interested in what you find out. And non-traditional students (adults going back to college and homeschoolers) will love to have this information in an easy-to-access place.
What do you do to help people navigate local scholarships?
