Private Sources of Financial AidScholarship Information Financing a college education with private resources is statistically the most underused source when paying for higher education. Some sources of financial aid that are often overlooked are listed. In order to benefit from this information, each family should investigate every resource they think would best suit their financial needs, such as employers, labor unions, or community and service organizations (i.e., Chamber of Commerce, Lions’, or Rotary Club). Your religious, ethnic, or racial heritage may qualify you for aid programs. Special talents, skills, or abilities can also qualify you for scholarships. Other sources available to families trying to pay for higher education include home equity loans, college savings plans, tuition payment plans, college savings bonds, or U.S. Savings Bonds series EE. Not everyone can benefit from these sources, so we advise choosing the plan that works best within your budget.
