Sallie Mae Launches New Scholarship Database

Sallie Mae has launched a new scholarship tool at Wirescholar.com ( http://www.wiredscholar.com ) which contains 2.4 million scholarships worth $14 billion.

Students will be required to register to access the scholarship database. Registration includes name, address, home phone number, and zip code (not all of this information is required; required information is marked with a red asterisk.)

Once you're registered you'll walk through six steps to get scholarship information. You'll answer a variety of questions, either as a student, parent, or guidance counselor. A loooong time later, after you're done answering all these questions, you'll get a list of available scholarships with plenty of information about each one, including deadline, extensive information about the site, award amount, requirements, and contact information.

I would love to see a "mail this scholarship" option on the popup box that provides a way to send the scholarship information by e-mail (did I just miss it?) Anyway, good site, I got plenty of results for my scholarship search.
