I'm trying to compile a comprehensive list of scholarships available for college students. Are there any reliable resources or websites that provide an updated list of scholarship opportunities?
Yes, there are several reliable resources where you can find comprehensive lists of scholarships available for college students.
One popular option is Fastweb. Fastweb is a site dedicated to helping students find scholarships that match their unique qualities and interests. They have a large database with over 1.5 million scholarships, and they constantly update it so you'll have the most recent information.
Another resource is Appily, previously known as Cappex. Appily provides a comprehensive list of scholarships and even lets you set up personalized alerts based on your profile so that you can be notified when new scholarships which match your interests and needs go live.
The U.S. Department of Labor’s free scholarship search tool is also valuable. It connects you to more than 8,000 scholarships, fellowships, grants, and other financial aid award opportunities.
Finally, remember to look at local scholarships in your community and college-specific scholarships. These are often less competitive than national scholarships as they have a smaller pool of applicants.
Always remember the cardinal rules of scholarship hunting: never pay an application fee and if a scholarship seems too good to be true, it usually is. Happy hunting!
