Site One Detailed Review- http://www.financialaid.umd.edu/Scholarships/departmental.html
This website is owned by the University of Maryland. This provides a list of its College and Departmental Scholarships sourced from the Office of Student Financial Aid. The main menus are Financial Aid Home, How Do I Apply?, What Types Of Aid Are Available? It has a few sub-menus, specifics on eligibility, how to contact and a site map.

This website has the tiniest text of all the sites I have visited but the quality of information available compensates.
