Anyone have some great links for College Grants or Scholarships

Honorable daughter #1 is a great kid. Took college classes in High School, got her CNA certification in high school so that she could work while going to college. She wants to be a Nurse Practicioner.

We just found out that the college of her choice (she gets to commute from home, saving $ yay!) has an awesome nursing school very competative and requiring straight A's to be one of the successful candidates. Average 180 Applicants 50 spots.

It makes sense to keep her work hours on the lower side so she can spend more time studying......BUT she seems to be unsuccessful in the scholarship department. She's applied to many location...not even enough to pay for fully for 1 semester. We keep hearing there are so many scholarship that go unused every year......we can't find them!!! Anyone has some links or knowledge in this area? TIA

They have a lengthy questionnaire that might seem random, like is your second cousin a polish paratrooper with brown hair? But they are all geared toward specific scholarship requirements.
