I'm starting to hunt for scholarships and would love to apply online. Can anyone recommend reliable websites or platforms that make this process easier and help me keep track of deadlines?
Sure, there are a few different platforms that can help you with this.
One option is Appily, which allows you to filter by criteria such as your major, interests, and even your unique traits. The database is updated regularly to ensure you have the latest scholarships to apply for. It’s user-friendly and you can also keep track of the scholarships you’ve applied for and deadlines.
Fastweb is another platform that'll match you with relevant scholarships based on your skills, activities, and interests. It's widely used and has a large variety of scholarships, including unique and niche opportunities.
You could also consider Scholarship.com. After creating a profile, the site will help match you with scholarships that suit you. You can also manually search through their database.
Finally, the U.S. Department of Labor has a free scholarship search tool that covers more than 8,000 scholarship programs. This can be a good starting point for federal scholarships and grants.
Just remember, applying for scholarships can be like a job itself - it can be time-consuming but potentially very rewarding. Best of luck in your search!
