New service can help find college $$$
The average cost of attending a
four-year public college is $5,300
per year. It’s $9,700 at private
institutions.
Despite the soaring price tag of a
higher education, over $150 mil
lion in financial aid for students
went unused last year.
A new Atlanta-based business.
Scholarship Search Services Inc.,
can assist parents and students in
getting a share of those unclaimed
funds.
Scholarship Search Services Inc.
is affiliated with a national com
pany, Academic Guidance Services
of Marlton, N.J. In existence since
1975, Academic Guidance Services
maintains a computer system that
stores information on sources of
financial aid totaling more than $4
billion from the private sector.
Scholarship Search Services Inc.
guarantees finding for every client
at least five sources of educational
funds. “Students generally receive
15 to 17 sources,” says Fred Da-
vidow, director.
“Over 50 percent of those using
the service will be successful in get
ting an award within a year." The
service fee of $59 is refunded if five
sources are not found.
“Most people are misled into
thinking that scholarships and
grants go only to straight-A stu
dents and all-star running backs,”
Fred Davidow
says Davidow, a graduate of Tulane
University who also holds a master
of education degree from Delta
State University in Cleveland, Miss.
“Literally thousands of monetary
awards are offered yearly by
churches, ethnic groups, corpora
tions, philanthropic organizations,
professional associations and civic
clubs. Name something a student is
or does and some group has prob
ably earmarked a fund for it.”
To use the service, students fill
out a dataform providing informa
tion on occupational goals, reli
gious affiliation, ethnic background,
club memberships, special skills,
etc. “We’re not being nosy,” says
Davidow. “It’s for the student’s
benefit, because those students who
get fewer than five sources are gen
erally the ones who fill out the
form incompletely.” The Com
pany’s computer searches through
the thousands of scholarships
sources and prints out those for
which the student is eligible. The
printout, mailed directly to the
student, lists for each source the
name of the award, the person and
address to write, its monetary worth
and the type and number of awards
available. It takes, at most, three
weeks from application to receipt
of the printout.
“We don’t give students the
money,” Davidow says. “We show
them where they can find it. After
we deliver the list, the rest is up to
the student to compete for the
money.
Kenneth A. Kohl, Director of
Financial Aid at Georgetown Uni
versity, has written about the use
of a databank in discovering avail
able scholarship funds. In his book
“Financing College Education” he
states, “There are awards for golf
caddies, newspaper carriers, cheer
leaders, glee clubbers, band leaders
and students with handicaps. Among
all these opportunities, surely you
are likely to strike gold.”
Information is available by writ
ing to Scholarship Search Services
Inc. at P.O. Box 467174, Atlanta,
Georgia 30346 or calling (404) 458-
6772 or toll free I-800-USA-I22I,
Ext. 6077. Provide name, address,
telephone number, high school at
tending and year in school.
Best Wishes for a
Happy & Healthy New Year
