Find More Sources of Aid

Remember, scholarships are gifts. They don't need to be repaid. There are thousands of scholarships available! They may be offered by employers, individuals, private companies, nonprofits, communities, religious groups, professional and social organizations, and ODU.

Grants are another kind of financial aid that generally do not need to be repaid. Scholarships and grants based on financial need often use FAFSA data to determine eligibility. To apply for them, complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year that you are enrolled.

How to Avoid Scholarship Scams

  • Never pay someone to fill out your FAFSA.
  • Never pay to apply for a scholarship, even a "processing fee."
  • Don't trust companies that guarantee you'll receive a scholarship or grant.
  • Don't provide your credit card to "confirm eligibility."
  • If you're not sure, ask a guidance counselor or the financial aid office to verify if a scholarship opportunity is legitimate.
