I know that I have seen a list of no fee scholarship search engines somewhere. If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate it. I was looking for art scholarships online and came across the scholarship.com website. There seems to be no charge but they ask for a lot of personal information such as address and birthdate. Is this the norm? I don't want to run into a scam in my eagerness to find some money!

I'll give you the links I have. Hopefully some will be useful.

They all appear to be free and some do not appear to require much information. I have not investigated some of these enough to know if there's a fee-for-service somewhere down the line.

HS scholarship info lists fastweb.com.

There are a lot of "no thanks" boxes you will have to check if you don't want to receive a lot of junk mail. It does seem to list scholarships that you might not otherwise hear about. Takes some patience.
