There are a three of sources to locate them. However, it takes time to hear back on them and a little work, but remember, if he is selected, it means less money in student loans to pay back.\n\nFirst, check with the high school guidance office if he is still attending high school. They have a list of local scholarships available to its students.\n\nSecond, check with the technical college's financial aid office. They have a list of private scholarships available to its students from companies and organizations to apply for consideration.\n\nFinally, join several free membership scholarship search websites. Most are updated on a regular basis. Most offer a customized search based on information put into the forms.\n\nGood luck!
