Upon logging in, users can browse scholarship opportunities in four different categories: Tribal College Scholarship Program, Tribal College Special Scholarships, Mainstream College Special Scholarships and Graduate Special Scholarships. The application process does require a photo of the student be submitted in addition to the standard scholarship application. Additional contact information is available on the AICF website.
Check your local library or bookstore for a scholarship advisory book. There are many different books available on the subject, and there may be some scholarship opportunities that are not listed in every book, so it's a good idea to consult multiple books. Some scholarship books recommended by Sallie Mae themselves are "How to Get Money for College" by Woodburn Press, "Cash for College" by NASFAA, "How to Pay for College: A Practical Guide for Families" by Gen and Kelly Tanabe, "The Scholarship Book" by the National Scholarship Research Service, "Peterson's College Money Handbook" and "Paying for College without Going for Broke" by Kalman Chany and Geoff Martz. For more scholarship guidebooks, visit the "Search for Scholarships" section on the Sallie Mae Fund website.
