Where to find free college scholarships for high school students?

I'm a high school student interested in finding scholarships that don't require any fees. What resources or websites are best for finding legitimate free scholarships that are worth applying to?

There are several resources that you might find useful in your search for scholarships:

1. Appily: Formerly known as Cappex, this database is frequently updated and lets you filter scholarships based on your specific needs. You can sign up to receive personalized scholarship matches and reminders.

2. Scholarship.com: This is one of the largest and oldest online scholarship databases out there. It allows you to search by academic level, award type, deadline, and more.

3. Fastweb: Another well-known scholarship database, it lets you build a profile to receive personalized scholarship opportunities.

4. Your school’s college counseling office: Often, your high school’s counseling or college advising office will have resources dedicated to local scholarships.

Remember to look for scholarships related to your unique circumstances, interests, or identity. For example, look for scholarships in your desired major, or scholarships for students involved in certain clubs or organizations. Be sure to start early and keep track of deadlines. Applying to scholarships is a numbers game, the more you apply to, the higher your chances of winning!
