Grants for Individuals page, updated and maintained by Jon Harrison, contains a breakdown of “funding opportunities for individuals, such as financial aid or scholarships for students.”

Funding is broken down by subject, by population group, and by academic level (precollege, undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctorate).

I found this website linked on a section of Jim Cooper’s website under Action Center, Student Resources.

Above, you will find information for more information about Student Aid for College Students, including information about legislative interns.
