Begin your search for scholarships at least one year before you intend to start school. For more information about available scholarships, contact the institution(s) you are thinking about attending. And remember to protect yourself! Before you do business with any scholarship search company, check out their reputation by contacting the Better Business Bureau or a state attorney general's office. Estimates show that families lose millions of dollars to scholarship fraud every year. Buyers beware!
