Outside scholarships

There are more sources of help than just Saint Martin’s and the government. Research local and national organizations that offer scholarships to students, especially those who are involved in leadership and community service programs. Some may be small, but remember: Every little bit helps!

The Office of Financial Aid maintains information on some outside scholarships, but you also should try these search engines: www.finaid.org and www.fastweb.com.

A word of warning: Never pay for a scholarship search. The websites listed above will do all the work a paid service will do.

We can accept just about any outside scholarship you earn and we won’t reduce your aid award, unless the total amount of aid exceeds the cost of attending Saint Martin’s. If it does, we’ll first reduce loans and student employment and only in rare cases do we have to reduce Saint Martin’s scholarships to stay under this limit.
