Scholarshipexperts.com is noted by Forbes.com as being one of the best scholarship search engines, much like http://www.fastweb.com or http://apps.collegeboard.com/cbsearch_ss/welcome.jsp .
You must first create a profile at http://scholarshipexperts.com ; then, you can answer the question, “If you could give any celebrity or famous person a ‘do-over,’ who would you give it to and why?” in 250 words or less.

NASSP Advisory List, Millions in money for high school students
For high school students:

For high school students, there is no better resources to find scholarships and contests for high school students than the National Association of Secondary School Principals 2010-2011 National Advisory List of Approved Student Contests and Activities.
This list is for 2010-2011, so if the deadline is passed, then you know that most likely the contest will be around next year for the same time.
For example, the Veterans of Foreign Wars 2010-2011 NATIONAL VOICE OF DEMOCRACY AUDIO-ESSAY CONTEST ran from Jan 1-Nov 1, 2011.
This contest was open for grades 9-12, and the top prize was $30,000. Other prizes were $16,000, $10,000, and $1,000.
You can read more about this contest and read the winning $30,000 speech: http://www.vfw.org/Community/Voice-of-Democracy/
Most likely, the VFW 2011-2012 NATIONAL VOICE OF DEMOCRACY AUDIO-ESSAY CONTEST will run from Jan 1-Nov 1, 2012.
This is just one of the contests on the NASSP National Advisory List of Approved Student Contests and Activities.
The 2011-2012 List will be posted here: http://www.nassp.org/awards-and-recognition/nassp-national-advisory-list
