public officials in your community and city may offer scholarships
to students continuing their education. Public officials usually

contact each official in your state, city, or community. Their
telephone numbers are listed in the Yellow Pages within the
Government section. Normally, you will speak with their receptionist.
Ask the receptionist, if the public official (state the official’s
name) offer scholarships for students or know of associates
who sponsor students continuing their education. You should
visit the web site of your state, city, and county government,
scholarship information may be posted somewhere on their web
site. Remember, the government is a networking community and
there is always someone who knows someone. So network!
