Students use computer to find scholarships
By Carol B. Shiney
For students like Milton Wendland, a $12 investment could turn into money for college.
Kansan staff writer
Wendland, Onaga freshman, used the new scholarship search offered by the Office of Financial Aid.
"For the $12, I got a lot of information." Wendland said. "That $12 could turn into $500 or $1,000 somewhere."
Initial revenue from fees students pay to use the search, called the College Aid Sources for Higher Education, will pay for the computer, which was purchased last semester, said Jerry Rogers, director of financial aid. The search identifies sources of money other than federal financial aid programs. Student Senate leased the CASHE-PLUS software for the Office of Financial Aid for $1,800 for one year.
Senate also will provide money to update the software, Rogers said.
To use the search, students fill out a data sheet that asks several questions about them and their parents. The data is entered into the computer.
"It scans the program for scholarship-type financial aid that might be available." Rogers said.
might qualify for, information about the awards, application deadlines and other application information.
The student then receives a computer printout that includes information about scholarships that the student
"It's up to the student to make the initial inquiry into the program," Rogers said.
It costs $12 to apply for the search if the student picks up the results, and $15 if the results are mailed. If the student pays cash, results can be picked up in three days. But if the student pays with a check, it takes 10 days because the office waits for the check to clear, he said.
The search provides information through a data base that includes more than 24,000 sources, he said. Sources include scholarships offered on a national level, as well as scholarships offered by KU.
"The students that have the better academic records would probably be in a better position to get help, but without many types available," Rogera said. "Rogera said."
About 200 people have used the search since it began in October.
"They haven't had time yet to find out if anyone was successful," Rogars said. "You don't have money in your pocket until you follow up."
Before the computer and software were purchased, students could check out books to search for the
information, he said.
She said most of the students who had used the search had been KU students and high school seniors. The search was opened to student other than those at KU because of requests, she said.
Julie Cooper, who manages the computer search along with Vernell Spearman, assistant director of financial aid, said the software was updated every six months to add new scholarships. The office just received updated software.
"I chose the search sponsored by KU because I figured that if it was associated with the University it would be reputable." Wendland said. It doesn't matter what the mail, I don't know if they would be good, reputable sources or not."
He received about 25 references for
scholarships and has heard from nine
Karen Johnson, Lawrence junior,
said she applied for the search
because she needed more money for
the course. But her grades were
good last semester.
"This sure beats searching through a lot of old books." Wendland said. "You get a great printout and a lot of great results."
"I got information on another scholarship search, but they wanted about $49 to do the same thing," she said.
