I'm on the hunt for scholarships and heard apps might be a helpful way to find them. Are there any highly recommended apps or platforms that compile scholarship opportunities, particularly ones that are easier for high school students to use?
Sure, there are several apps and platforms that are particularly useful for finding scholarships:
1. Scholly: A very popular app among high school students, Scholly provides a comprehensive database of scholarships according to a personalized scholarship profile, making the search process quite efficient. The app does require a subscription, but many students find the cost worthwhile, given the potential for scholarship matches.
2. Fastweb: Not an app, but a highly regarded online resource. Fastweb provides a wide range of scholarships, internships and part-time jobs. You create a profile and the system matches you to potential scholarships.
3. Appily: Formerly known as Cappex, Appily gives you access to a large database of scholarships and also insights into your personal chances of admission at certain colleges. This dual functionality can make it a valuable resource.
4. Chegg Scholarships: Chegg, renowned for its textbook services and study help, also has a scholarship search tool. By creating a profile, you can discover scholarships that fit your academic and personal background.
5. CollegeVine doesn’t have a scholarship search engine, but it does offer a free peer essay review service where you can get feedback on your scholarship essays.
Remember, it's important to be wary of scams when searching for scholarships. Avoid any services that charge application fees, and remember that you never need to provide sensitive information like your Social Security number to apply for a scholarship. Good luck!
