Private Scholarships
Many scholarships and grants are offered by private sources,
such as fraternal and religious organizations, labor unions, professional
associations, social groups, and ethnic associations. Because they are
private and therefore not administered by Drexel,
it is up to you to research and apply for them on your own. The best
place to start your research is your local church or synagogue or a local
club such as the Lions or Kiwanis. In addition, various publications
contain private resource information; they can be found in your local
library or bookstore.
The following free scholarship search engines provide information on
thousands of scholarships as well as information on financial aid and
money management.
Report Your Private Funding
Any outside funding you receive must be taken into account when your
eligibility is determined for need-based financial aid, such as the Stafford
Loan program. If you have been offered funding from a source outside
the University, you should notify the SRC/FA of the
amount and of the donor.
