How can I use the College Now student portal for scholarships?

I've heard that the College Now program has a student portal that helps with scholarships. Could anyone provide more details on how useful this portal is for finding and applying to scholarships?

The College Now student portal can indeed be a helpful resource for scholarships. The portal primarily provides students with access to scholarships that are made exclusively available to College Now students. These scholarships are awarded based on a variety of criteria such as academic achievement, personal or financial circumstances, or area of study.

To utilize the portal for scholarships, you'd first sign in with your College Now login information. Once logged in, navigate to the 'Scholarships' section. Here, you'll see a list of available scholarships, their requirements, and deadlines for application.

Each scholarship listed on the portal will have details about what it covers, whether it's tuition, room and board, books, or other expenses. Additionally, application requirements for each scholarship are listed, such as an essay or letter of reference.

You can apply directly through the portal for some scholarships. This process usually involves submitting necessary documents like transcripts, letters of recommendation, and personal essays.

However, do note that it's important to pursue multiple sources for scholarships, not just those available on the College Now portal. Perform a comprehensive search using various resources such as your school's financial aid office, online scholarship databases like Appily, and contacting local non-profits or businesses. Diversifying your search may increase your chances of finding additional scholarships that match your qualifications and needs.
