Paying for College

Has anyone won a scholarship or know someone who has won a scholarship on Bold.org or Going Merry?
Answered

Both of bold.org and Going Merry are websites meant for providing scholarships. They are both (I assume) very popular, meaning that the competition is high. I genuinely think that Going Merry is not at all legit, except for maybe the scholarships that are applied for on a different website.

Bold.org makes a lot of claims and is aggressively advertised on all internet platforms. Many people use it, meaning that there is higher competition for winning. So, does anyone know anyone who has won anything on these platforms?

One person in a previous thread claimed to have a friend who won two scholarships from Bold.org. Bold.org and Going Merry are both legit, but it would be more worth your time to apply to small niche scholarships. Hope this helps!
