What are some scholarships you guys have been applying to? And what scholarships do you recommend seniors applying to?
Hey there @garden.of.stars_!
I'm also a current senior, and I would recommend applying for scholarships from big franchise companies. There are lot of little scholarships that you can do, but applying to big ones is also worth it. The last one I applied for was the Coca Cola scholarship. It asked for academic, extracurricular, and any work experience to choose the winners. It is a national scholarship, but its better to apply than miss a chance. The next one I'm going to do is the Chick-fil-A one. Definitely do research. Just search the company name along with scholarship, and if they have one it will pop up.
Hi, I saw some good suggestions, also the Dell Scholarship. Its flexible 20,000 dollar scholarship, so it can be used on many different college costs, like room and board, meal plans, study abroad, etc. They also provide you with a dell laptop for school and they give you an advisor to help with college. They also provide free tele-therapy for people struggling with the transition to college or any issues they have. They even provide book credits and emergency funds so you can worry about college and not money.
You need to be Pell grant eligible, have at least a 2.4 GPA unweighted, be enrolled in college full time, and be a high school senior. The deadline is February 15th. It actually just opened today. So if your eligible, get your application in soon!

thank you so much, I think I'm going to apply to the Colgate and the Burger King one, but I'll definitely check out the Chick-Fila one!
