One thing you need to realize is that there are many websites out there too that simply exist to just collect your personal information and then market to you. I trust fastweb.com, which is owned by Monster. They have thousands of scholarships out there for other companies. If you want to apply direct to companies, that's also a good way. A good starting point is to go to Borders, pick up a scholarship book and bring your pen and paper. Write down all the websites in a scholarship book (Peterson's is a good one) and then visit them and apply when you get home.
