Free, No registration scholarship search

Hey everyone, I haven't posted in a while, but I've been busy with the scholarships & financial aid.

I'm currently working on a free, no registration required scholarship search based on a modified Google custom search. The tool is located here: no registration scholarships search

I've tested it with a few "obscure" scholarship criteria and it seems to deliver some pretty good results. If anyone tries it out, please IM me or Email me with suggestions or any problems you encountered. There's only so much I can do with the Google search, but I can try to improve any faults.

I read that the best way to earn financial aid is to take money out of your bank account and put it into a safe deposit box so colleges think you need more financial assistance. just a suggestion

Also, this isnt a scholarship, but cashcratesignup.tk offers money to students and teenagers online. I started it last month and I have been extremely profitable! It makes college costs seem much less daunting.

Good Luck everyone! I hope you all get into the college of your dreams

Actually, hiding assets in that manner is probably the best way to spend some time in prison for fraud, not really the way for folks to begin their futures.

Just to add on, a few other sites I have come accros while searching:

www.studentsglobal.com -
www.geeducation.org -

both offer a scholarship and information on scholarhsips from other sites.

Thanks again, I can't wait to check these out!!!!
