Federal Work Study, in Plain English: How the Federal Work Study program works, and why it probably is a great way for you to make some pocket money without getting in the way of your studies or classes.

How are private student loan interest rates determined? Unlike federal student loans, private student loans do not have a universal fixed interest rate.Private student loan interest rated are calculated based on a published index, such as the Prime Rate or LIBOR, and a margin based on your credit score and credit history. Private student loan interest rates fluctuate over time and interest begins accruing as soon as the loan is disbursed.

The 10K Scholarship Monster! Ooh, look! It’s holding a bundle of money in its meaty claws! Little Tommy, hurry and get the rake — maybe if we poke it mercilessly it’ll drop the cash! Yes, yes that’s it, that’s the ticket!

Wait, wait!! …. it’s speaking:

“RAWR! If you want my money you must earn scholarship points and present them to me by March 14th at the stroke of midnight… or I will eat your children. Or maybe I’ll just go for a swim, I like swimming.”

“But but, Mr. Scholarship Monster,” Little Tommy asked timidly, “where can we get scholarship points?”

“RAWRRRRRRR! In the village square, you must complete points earning activities and then redeem them for entries into my contest!”

Little Tommy spoke with a quiet voice, “But Mr. 10K Monster, I’m not out of high school yet… am I old enough?” The Monster thought carefully and declared, “You’re cool with me kid, if you’re at least a senior in high school.”

Suddenly, the Monster realized it was dinnertime and waded back into the village’s murky lake. “Remember, by midnight on March 14th!” And it was gone.

Did you know that there could be thousands of dollars in scholarships right in your own community? Many students search for scholarships online and apply for national contests, but these contests can have hundreds of thousands of applicants. Local scholarships have much smaller applicant pools so the chances of winning are much greater. So where can you find these scholarships? Here is a list of places to look:

• Your high school’s guidance department – sometimes your high school will have an entire list of community scholarships.
• Your church – many churches give out one or two scholarships to active members.
• Your local Rotary club – Rotary clubs often award scholarships to students for excellence in academics, community service and other activities.
• Your summer job – many local businesses give out scholarships to their student employees.
• Any organizations your parents are involved in – often times organizations will give scholarships to people they know so if your parents are involved that is a plus.

Now is the time when most local organizations are collecting applications and making decisions about award winners so do not delay the application process! Good luck and don’t forget about the ScholarshipPoints March 2010 $10,000 scholarship drawing! You have about a month left to earn points and enter to win!
