Looking for the best scholarships available for 2025?

I'm graduating high school in 2025, and I'm trying to get a head start on scholarship applications. Are there any standout scholarships available for students like me? I'd appreciate any leads or advice on where to start looking.

Certainly, there are several scholarships available for high school students who are preparing to enter college in 2025. Here are a few standout scholarships to consider:

1. Coca-Cola Scholars Program: This renowned scholarship provides 150 scholarships per year, each worth $20,000, to students who excel in leadership, service, and action.

2. Regeneron Science Talent Search: If you're interested in STEM, this is the nation’s oldest and most prestigious science and math competition for high school seniors, offering three top winners $250,000 each.

3. Ron Brown Scholar Program: Offers scholarships to academically talented, highly motivated Black/African American high school seniors who have demonstrated financial need, social commitment, and leadership potential.

4. The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation's College Scholarship Program: This is one of the largest scholarship programs in the US for high-achieving students with financial need.

5. Boren Awards for International Study: If you're interested in studying abroad, Boren Scholarships award up to $20,000 to U.S. undergraduate students to study abroad in areas of the world that are underrepresented in study abroad.

6. National Merit Scholarship Program: Becomes accessible in your junior year when you take the PSAT; in addition to the actual scholarship, being a National Merit Scholar can also commend you to colleges.

To find other options, utilize scholarship search platforms (like Appily) where you can filter scholarships by parameters that match your qualifications. And don't forget to check with local organizations in your community; many of them offer scholarships that can get far fewer applicants, making your chances higher.
