Aside from FASFA and the scholarships offered by the schools I am applying to, what are some legit websites that offer scholarships for grad students? I am not looking for loans.

I'm applying to school counseling MA programs at San Diego State (currently attending for BA), University of San Diego, and Point Loma Nazarene. SDSU is my first choice since I am currently attending there and it is the cheapest option. I am in a difficult spot. My dad passed away in March 2020. He made 80% of our household income. Now I am having to apply for financial aid but don't really know where to start since this is something my dad would have helped me with. So I am stressed about it and it is very emotional since it reminds me of my dad. The 2 year tuitions (entire program) are as follows- SDSU= $15,000 USD= $72,000 PLNU= $36,000 In addition to applying to the 3 schools' scholarships/grants and FASFA, are there any legitimate websites that offer financial aid? Sometimes you have to fit a certain demographic to apply to some scholarships (ex- first to attend college, parents served in the army, etc)... Are there any that are specific to students who are from a widowed family? BTW- I will not apply for any loans. I am only looking for financial aid that I do not need to pay back.

Hello everyone!I am about to enter my 4th year of my psychology BA at SDSU. I plan on taking the GRE in the upcoming months. I currently have a 3.9 GPA. My plan is to eventually get a PhD so that I can become and educational testing psychologist (psychometrician) to help kids get accommodations in school.Apply to grad schools will be difficult for me because my dad was planning on helping me but he unexpectedly passed away in March. So now I have to figure everything out for myself. Here is what I have planned for applications so far-SDSU- Psych MAUCSD- Psych MAUC Merced- Psych PhDUC Riverside- Psych PhDI am doing MA for the more competitive schools and PhD for the less competitive schools. I am happy with my choices so far but am concerned that grad school apps will be too competitive and I will get denied from all four. Does anyone have any recommendations for other schools that I can apply for? Here are some of the important things--General Psych for MA or Clinical Psych for PhD-Low tuition around $10,000 or lower per year (my dad was the breadwinner in the family)-Preferably near San Diego so I can visit home every once in a while (SoCal/ West Arizona) I am willing to consider further school as long as they are low tuition (around $10,000 per year)I am just a little overwhelmed having to do this search by myself now.P.S. I would add CSU San Marcos to the MA list but I am not sure if the grad school acceptance is similar to how they do undergrad (if you apply to both CSUSM and SDSU then you would be accepted to CSUSM since it is the less competitive school and you would be denied from SDSU).
