Welcome to the Cecil College scholarship guide! This guide will provide information about grants, scholarships, loans and other types of aid that you can apply for to help pay for your education. Some of the grants are public and others are from private institutions; some are federal and some are from the State of Maryland. There are a wide variety of opportunities for you to check out.

From Consumer Fraud Reporting, following are the warning signs of a college scholarship scam.  See their section on Scholarship Scams for more. In addition, visit the Federal Student Aid website to learn more about how to avoid student aid scams.

Warning signs of a college scholarship scam:

• "The scholarship is guaranteed or your money back."
• "You can't get this information anywhere else."
• "I just need your credit card or bank account number to hold this scholarship."
• "We'll do all the work."
• "The scholarship will cost some money."
• "You've been selected by a 'national foundation' to receive a scholarship" or "You're a finalist" in a contest you never entered.
• "Millions of dollars in aid go unclaimed every year; don't you want some of that money?"
• "Buy now or miss this opportunity."
