Does anyone know of any scholarships currently available for college students? I'm trying to gather a list of opportunities that I can apply to, especially those that aren't super competitive. Any suggestions would be helpful!
Yes, there are plenty of scholarships out there specifically designed for college students! Here are a few that you might consider:
