Best Scholarship Websites?

Can anyone recommend the best websites to find scholarships for college? I've been browsing online but I'm not sure which ones are legit and up-to-date. Any personal experiences would be super helpful!

There are several reputable websites that offer comprehensive databases for scholarships.

One of the most popular is Fastweb, a long-standing portal that matches students with relevant scholarships based on their academic interests, demographic details, and extracurricular activities. Fastweb also includes resources for navigating the financial aid process.

Another one is Chegg, which, apart from its textbook rental service, also provides a robust scholarship search platform that you can filter by academic level, majors, awards type, and more.

Scholarships.com not only has a vast database of scholarships but also offers a College Matchmaker feature to help you find schools that align with your academic and personal needs.

Finally, Appily (formerly known as Cappex) is an excellent resource not only for college applications but also for finding scholarships.

You might also benefit from looking into local organizations or foundations, businesses, and even your planned college majors. They often offer scholarships with a smaller applicant pool, increasing your chances of obtaining aid. Keep in mind, though, that legitimate scholarships never require an application fee.

Remember to keep your personal information secure when using these sites and never pay for scholarship services. Opportunities are free to apply to, and your financial data should never be requested. Good luck with your scholarship search!
