Some universities are starting to offer scholarships that are specific to online students or open to any enrolled student.
    很多學(xué)校針對網(wǎng)上的學(xué)生和錄取入校的學(xué)生設(shè)立了專門的獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金。
    For example, Pennsylvania State University—World Campus, the online arm of Penn State, offers multiple scholarships geared specifically for its distance students. UMass—Amherst’s University Without Walls offers multiple scholarships – like the Taylor Educational Opportunity Scholarship – ranging from $500 to $2,500 that are specifically geared toward online students.
    例如，賓夕法尼亞州立大學(xué)的世界校區(qū)，是賓大的一個(gè)平臺(tái)，為遠(yuǎn)距離的學(xué)生提供多種專門設(shè)立的獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金。阿默斯特分校也提供了多種獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金——像泰勒教育獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金，專門為網(wǎng)上學(xué)生設(shè)立，獎(jiǎng)金從500美金到2500美金不等。
    1. Shop around for schools that offer the best scholarships: While brick-and-mortar schools have to cap their class sizes based on their physical lecture hall space, online institutions aren’t as confined to those constraints.
    1. 對比幾所學(xué)校選出獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金最多的：實(shí)體的學(xué)校受空間的影響課程人數(shù)會(huì)有限制，但是網(wǎng)上學(xué)校就沒有這些限制。
    "An online student is in a really strong position to be a savvy shopper," says Jason Baker, a professor of education and doctoral program chairman at Regent University. "It’s a different mindset, but students should shop for college the way we buy a car or a house. Negotiate with schools in hopes of waiving associated fees or reducing tuition. Pit one school against another in order to reduce costs."
    “網(wǎng)上學(xué)生能最有利地了解情況，瑞金大學(xué)博士課程的主席兼教育學(xué)教授Jason Baker說道， “這是一種不同的心態(tài)，但是學(xué)生在對比學(xué)校的時(shí)候要像我們到商店買車或者買房的方法。跟學(xué)校協(xié)商免除相關(guān)的費(fèi)用或者縮減學(xué)費(fèi)。選出一所學(xué)校比其他學(xué)校條件好能減少費(fèi)用開支?！?BR>    2. Start early and follow up: It’s also important for students to ask when they should apply for a scholarship, and not wait until two weeks before school starts, says Keith Brender, Kaplan University’s interim dean of students. Once students receive scholarships, they should ask how to maintain them – if there is a minimum credit load or GPA requirement – so they will be eligible to receive them again, he says.
    2.?提前準(zhǔn)備及時(shí)跟進(jìn)：卡普蘭大學(xué)臨時(shí)主任Keith Brender說：“學(xué)生了解獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金申請的時(shí)間很重要，不要等到開學(xué)前兩個(gè)星期才去申請?！币坏W(xué)生得到獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金，要繼續(xù)維持——如果有最小分?jǐn)?shù)限制或者GPA要求，這要就能再次申請到獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金。
    3. Consider alternative sources: Online students shouldn’t forget to look for scholarships on the ground – and closer to home. Local businesses in their hometowns, current employers and faith-based organizations that might be willing to offer scholarships.
    3. 考慮可替換的其他資源：網(wǎng)上的學(xué)生不要遺忘了還有實(shí)體學(xué)校的獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金可以申請——特別是離家近的。在他們當(dāng)?shù)氐纳虡I(yè)組織，在職員工和有目標(biāo)的組織就愿意提供獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金。
    Students should also be creative in how they search on the Internet. "You never know where you are going to find a scholarship," says Dale, who earned the prestigious U.S. Department of State’s Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship, which granted her $5,000 to study postgenocide restoration and peace-building efforts in Rwanda and Uganda. "It’s always in the most random places."
    學(xué)生們在搜索網(wǎng)絡(luò)資源的時(shí)候思維要開闊，Dale說：“因?yàn)槟悴恢滥銜?huì)在哪找到獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金?！盌ale獲得過優(yōu)秀州立政府的Benjamin A. Gilman國際獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金，保證了她在盧旺達(dá)和烏干達(dá)研究種族滅絕后的恢復(fù)重建。
