A Big List of Scholarship Search Engines
If you're looking for Scholarships, this will give you a whole lot of places to look.
This is one Huge, Mega, list of search engines for grants (Thanks to the University of Arizona). Now, I've gone through a few of these and didn't find find a whole bunch of grants just jumping out at me. :). However, your chances for finding a grant change with a host of personal factors that vary. I think that some of these are only for US students, but some are for international students and would include studying in other countries or online. I'll be posting more on Scholarships later.

are these scholarships aimed for americans,or those studying in the US or american colleges, or are they universal?
Some of these apply to non-US citizens, however the list is taken from an American College's site, so it must be targeted at Americans. I haven't been able to go through all the sites on the list, if any of you have checked them out and has an opinion on any of them please post it.
