Does anyone have or no where I can find scholarships for undergraduate minorities?
I’m looking for scholarships for minorities/African-Americans and/or males. Or for undergraduates majoring in criminal justice. Individual scholarships that anyone knows of or websites would be greatly appreciated.

There are many scholarships and financial aid for minority students. It does not cost any money to apply or be considered for one. However, it takes time to hear back.
First, fill out the FAFSA form because it will tap into financial aid from the federal and state governments along with the college itself. It is decided on family income and resources. It taps into both grants and student loans.
Second, search Google.com and Yahoo.com for state grants for both criminal justice and college.
Third, high school guidance office has a list of local scholarships that current high school students can apply for consideration.
Fourth, the college financial aid office and website both have a list of prviate scholarships offered by outside organizations and companies. Sometimes a college major’s website will list some scholarships, too.
Fifth,the local public library has a book listing scholarships, and some are not listed on the web.
Sixth, search for college grants via Google.com and Yahoo.com for your state.
Finally, join several free membership scholarship search websites. Most are updated on a regular basis. Most offer a customized search based on the information that you enter into a form.
Good luck!
