And Now for Something Completey Different--PDF Document Finder and Hispanic Scholarship Fund

In my wanderings around the net, I found this search engine, PDF Search Engine:

http://www.pdf-search-engine.com/

Many individuals and institutions put PDF documents on the Internet. PDFs are Adobe documents that can be read with Adobe Reader, on both Mac and PC computers.

Anyway, I entered Scholarships into the search engine. I also recommend typing Scholarship. You can do variations of this, typing in women scholarships or African American scholarships.

One of these documents had the Hispanic Scholarship Fund.

Here is the page for the Scholarship program of the HSF:
http://www.hsf.net/Scholarships.aspx?id=72&ekmensel=c580fa7b_10_0_72_1

Here is the front page of the HSF (sometimes referred to in posts as the front matter): http://www.hsf.net/default.aspx

In listings, often internal web pages are changed, so many times people will list the front matter so that you can go to the home page and click on the link for scholarships.

Check out the PDF Search engine and tell me what you discover.

Once again, if anything asks for your money as an entrance fee, don't do it.

Signing off, your friendly neighboorhood ScholarshipMan.
