The Sallie Mae Fund announced that its scholarship application season is now open and invites students attending college in the fall to apply for more than $2 million in scholarships it will award for the 2008-2009 school year.

For application detail please visit: The Sallie Mae Fund.

The Sallie Mae 911 Education Fund: Created in response to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, this program provides scholarship dollars to children of those who were killed or permanently disabled in the attacks. (Deadline: ongoing)

The Sallie Mae Fund also offers students tips for tapping into this free money for college:

• Apply for as many awards as you qualify for. Even small awards can be helpful in covering the cost of books.
  
  
• Pay close attention to deadlines. Missing a deadline is a sure way to become disqualified.
  
  
• Look for scholarships offered by a variety of sources, including companies, unions, foundations, community organizations, churches and more.
  
  
• Tell family, friends, teachers and others in your community that you are looking for scholarships. They may know something you do not.
  
  
• Understand the conditions of an award—such as maintaining a specific GPA or participating on an athletic team.
  
  
• Tap into free scholarship directories and searches offered by reputable educational organizations. Three such tools are available at www.salliemaefund.org, which provides a free searchable database of scholarships, as well as scholarships directories, especially for Latino and African-American students.
  
  
• Watch for scholarship scams. You should never have to pay for scholarship advice or information.
  
  
• If you receive a scholarship, be sure to write a thank-you note to the organization. You may want to reapply for the scholarship in the future so it is important to make a good impression.
