Additional Scholarship Resources

Colorado Christian University’s Financial Aid Office recognizes that paying for a college education can often be difficult. We strongly recommend that all of our students search for outside scholarships. The following is a list of free scholarship search engines that we recommend. A profile is required with most search engines in order to help personalize your search.

• Please remember that while we can recommend these search engines, the integrity of the sources offering scholarships cannot be guaranteed. Research on the source may be necessary from time to time.
• There are other scholarship search engines from which you can find additional outside scholarships. This is not a comprehensive listing of Web sites.
• Finally, please keep in mind that if a scholarship search engine requests money to find your scholarship listings, it is probably not a good site to use. Although some sources are legitimate, the rule of thumb is: any site requesting money to find money is probably a scam!
