I read an interesting
article in American Libraries a few weeks ago about a great niche for libraries to fill--researching and collecting information about local scholarships. Odds are much better for receiving a scholarship from the local Kiwanis club than with a national competition.
The author gives some great tips for finding those local resources. Maybe your school guidance counsellor already does this--if they don't, they will certainly be interested in what you find out. And non-traditional students (adults going back to college and homeschoolers) will love to have this information in an easy-to-access place.
What do you do to help people navigate local scholarships?
