The key to the successful hunt for college financial aid and scholarships is to pay attention to deadlines.  In these tight economic times, more and more students are seeking scholarships and grant aid.  Foundations, agencies and corporations awarding scholarships or grant aid have processes and procedures to follow and typically have few opportunities to extend application deadlines.  Bottom line:  pay attention to deadlines and follow them.

These states still have available deadlines to apply for state financial aid for college.  Remember to read the residency requirements and application instructions.
