Scholarships
Answered

Hi, Im a high school senior right now and I am interested in getting a degree in criminology, my issue is I never did any sports in high school and my school hasn't been the easiest in trying to navigate how to get scholarships, does anyone have any advice on how/where to apply for scholarships?

You don’t need sports to land scholarships there are tons out there for academics, community service, interests, even just quirky essay contests. Start with FAFSA (if you’re in the U.S.), then check sites like Fastweb or Scholarships.com, and don’t forget local community orgs, credit unions, or even your city/town. Criminology-specific scholarships also exist, often tied to law, justice, or public service foundations. Apply to as many as you can it’s a numbers game.

Hello! I am a freshman in college right now, and I found that the app MOS helped me to find scholarships suited for me. You can also try going to your local stores, fast food restaurants, and small businesses in your area that might have scholarships! For example, Taco Bell has one!
