NOVEMBER IS "NATIONAL SCHOLARSHIP MONTH". AND, "SALLIE MAE" REMINDS STUDENTS AND FAMILIES ALIKE THAT SCHOLARSHIPS EXTEND WELL BEYOND ACADEMICS OR ATHLETICS. INDEED, THERE'S FREE MONEY OUT THERE--FOR ALL KINDS OF INTERESTS--WITH THE COMPANY'S RESEARCH SHOWING THAT MORE THAN A THIRD OF COLLEGE-COSTS ARE PAID FOR BY SCHOLARSHIPS OR GRANTS. THE KEY IS KNOWING HOW TO EFFECTIVELY SEARCH AND APPLY. "SALLIE MAE" CAN HELP, THROUGH ITS FREE "SCHOLARSHIP SEARCH"--WHICH INCLUDES FIVE-MILLION SCHOLARSHIPS THAT, COMBINED, ARE WORTH 24-BILLION DOLLARS. AND, FINDING THEM IS JUST A FEW CLICKS AWAY: STUDENTS REGISTER FOR FREE; FILL OUT A BRIEF PROFILE; AND START SEARCHING. THE TOOL RESPONDS WITH RELEVANT SCHOLARSHIPS--ALONG WITH THEIR AWARD-AMOUNTS, APPLICATION-REQUIREMENTS, AND DEADLINES. IT ALSO SENDS UPDATES, AUTOMATICALLY--WHENEVER IT IDENTIFIES NEW MATCHES. TO REGISTER--AND FOR MORE INFORMATION ON SAVING, PLANNING, AND PAYING FOR COLLEGE--VISIT "SALLIE-MAE"-DOT-COM-SLASH-"SCHOLARSHIP-SEARCH".
