Other/Outside Scholarship Websites?

[randomkid98]

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.
