highly accredited schools in Michigan. She has a 3.6 GPA in mostly AP courses, she graduated Cum Laude, but she only scored a 20 on the ACT test. She has been accepted to every college she applied for, but no scholarship monies were offered because of her low score on the ACT test. Does anyone have any suggestions regarding scholarships for her to receive money?

Did she take the SAT? If you're a minority, or a single mother, it's really easy for her to get a scholorship, or aid.

I have personally found that it is much easier to get scholarships from the college I am going to. In particular, private schools tend to have a lot more scholarships, and they take only 4 years to get out of. Most public universities (where I live in California) take 5 or 6, so the cost can actually be cheaper at a private school than a public school, especially if you can live at home. Scholarship searches can be exhausting and tedious. Scholarships.com was the easiest for me to use, but be very prepared to settle for the $500 ones, or writing essays about spark plugs or something. Also look specifically at scholarships for women that go into whatever your daughter's major is. In California, we have the Cal Grant on top of the Federal Pell Grant for lower income students. Make sure you have filled out the FAFSA (which must be resubmitted every year as close to January 1st as possible) and the GPA verification form.
