Besides Financial Aid and Student Loans, any good Scholarship advice?

I want to know of any good places online or companies that provide Scholarships for students. I have applied for Financial Aid and plan to apply for a Student Loan next week when Spring semester begins. I’d like to get some information on Scholarships as well. No idea how it works and a lot of stuff online don’t really make a whole lot of sense. (You have to be Jewish or a Minority or something on most of them that I found)

Thanks.

ADVICE PLEASE- YOUNG FINANCIAL PLANNER?

im a 21 yr old indian male livin in south africa. Ive got my bcom(business degree) in financial planning. I love helpin and advising, but im struggling with my job, as i cant seem to land appointments and close deals. Im an excellent networker, passionate about life, passionate about people and business. I cant seem to see whats the problem. My finance knowledge is relatively high and i just hate my job and my managers, who i think are useless and only think abou themselves. Im planning to do my CFA and head straight to wall street. But i just need lots of advice, coz my managers are certainly not understanding me.

Need advice – Should I sell or retirement?

Help – Sell? Or Retirement or What?

Maybe there are some people who went through a divorce who can help me.
I have two grade school kids.
I went through a divorce that ruined my credit when my husband left for another woman. He is a high powered lawyer and I couldn’t afford one so he is paying minimum child support, less than the mortgage.

I then lost my job. I have looked for another one for 7 months. I am over 45 and over educated so I can’t even get a job at Sears. I need some financial planning advice.

I have a home worth $250,000. The mortgage balance is $120,000. An apartment with two bedrooms in my area is $500 per month more than mortgage. I can’t get an apartment because of my credit and no job.

I have $50,000 in my retirement account.

Question:

Should I take out my retirement? It would help me pay the mortgage and expenese for three years. I would have to hope that I have a job or some business by then where I have income.

I could sell the house but then where would I live?

Maybe there are solutions that I do not see.

I can’t see. I have condidered suicide. I really need some guidance here.

Going for a degree in a foreign country, need some financial advice.?

I’m planning on starting my studies this fall in Finland, and am living in the country as an au pair at the moment. To qualify for a residence permit for studies I must show that I have access to at least 6000€ ($8000 about) or have part of that and a job to supply the rest. With my current job and a bit of assistance from my parents I can manage to save about half of what I need, but I’m wondering the best way to go about getting the other half (I can’t take another job until after june due to the restrictions on my current permit) I’m wondering if I should go with an international student loan or try to find an international scholarship. If anyone has any suggestions or reliable sites to check for loans I would really appreciate it. Thanks :)
