Where to Look for Scholarships Niche Offers?

I've come across the Niche platform while researching scholarships, and I'm wondering if anyone has used it to find and apply for scholarships? Are there any specific ones on Niche that are worth checking out for a high school junior like me? It would be great to get some insights about how helpful Niche is when it comes to finding tailored scholarship opportunities.

Niche is a platform that allows you to search for multiple scholarships based on the details you are inputting. I believe Niche itself offers a variety of scholarships on a monthly basis. The Niche "no essay" scholarship, for example, has a simple application process and offers a $2,000 award. This could be a great place to start.

The platform also has filters to help you find scholarships specific to your year in school, so you're able to find opportunities tailored to juniors. But remember, like most scholarship databases, the scholarships are open to all students who meet the eligibility criteria, so it may be highly competitive.

While Niche can indeed help you find scholarships, it's always best to consider a multi-pronged approach. Consider also looking at scholarship opportunities from local organizations, companies, or professional associations related to your intended career or academic interests as they may have less competition.

Don't forget about CollegeVine, which offers a $2,000 scholarship giveaway, too. Balance larger scholarship databases like Niche with more localized and lesser-known opportunities for the best chance at securing scholarship money. Just make sure to check the eligibility requirements and deadlines for each scholarship you apply to.

In all, remember to be cautious of scams while searching for scholarships. If a scholarship asks for a fee to apply, it's probably best to avoid it. As the saying goes, you shouldn't have to pay money to get money.
