ABOUT COLLEGE FUNDING FINDER
College Funding Finder is an alternative student financial
aid database which tracks over 1,400 alternative student
financial aid sources offering over 50,000 different student
financial aid programs including scholarships, grants, low-
interest loans, no-interest loans, fellowships and internships.
In addition to helping students locate sources of financial
aid, College Funding Finder provides the student with
comprehensive funding information AND personalized application
request letters which reduce the effort required by the student
to get the necessary applications for these aid programs. A
guide with tips for applying to these funds is also supplied
to the student.
College Funding Finder is intended for use by anyone
planning on paying for an education whether it is trade school,
college, graduate school or academic research. There are even
programs for high school students in College Funding Finder's
database.
College Funding Finder is THE ONLY financial aid search
software made available to the public. Other similar systems
are sold solely to educational institutions and range in cost
from $400 per year up to $3,500 per year and are not as user-
friendly.
College Funding Finder is also endorsed by the University
of San Diego's Copely Library and John Hancock Financial
Services of San Diego, CA.
