"Looking for Scholarships?"
There are countless scholarships available to students of all ages each
year. Scholarship web searches are popular ways to find ones you may be
eligible for. Watch for services that charge you a fee, request a credit card
number to hold a scholarship or guarantee that you will get a scholarship.
These are all popular scams. There are free online scholarship search sites
such as www.collegeboard.com, www.fastweb.com and www.finaid.com.
For more information on scholarships contact Luhui Whitebear, CTGR
Scholarship Coordinator at 503-879-1345 or 1-800-422-0232 ext 1345 or
