Q: Are there scholarships available for students who have lost a parent?

Q: Are there any full scholarships for students to go to any school of their choice?
I'm from eastern KY, I'm looking for a full paid scholarship to any school. Does anyone know of any scholarships I can get that will allow me to attend Cornell, Columbia, Princeton, or UPenn on a FULL PAID scholarship???

A: Most, if not all, Ivy league schools only offer need-based financial aid, meaning the poorer you are, the more you get. The best thing is that it has no effect on your application whether or not you apply for financial aid. I know UPenn offers almost a full ride if your family income is below a certain level. If you're looking for sources outside colleges, it's really competitive. Not a lot of outside sources offer full scholarships but rather small awards. College is an investment, especially going to an Ive League one. Even if you don't get any scholarships, it's still worth going.
