I'm currently a college student looking for scholarships to help reduce tuition costs. What are some programs I can apply to, and are there any deadlines coming up that I should be aware of?
There are several scholarships available for current college students to help offset tuition costs. Let's consider a few.
1. Gilman Scholarship Program: This one is for U.S. undergraduate students who are receiving Federal Pell Grant funding at a 2-year or 4-year college, and who are studying or interning abroad. The next deadline is in early October for spring/early decision summer programs.
2. Jackie Robinson Foundation Scholarship: This scholarship is for minority high school seniors who plan to attend a 4-year institution. The deadline is typically in early February, and applications will open in November.
3. Coca-Cola Scholars Program Scholarship: This scholarship grants 150 scholarships of $20,000 each for students in the United States. The application period is August 1 to October 31.
Remember, each scholarship has different requirements and it’s important to check each scholarship's page to understand if you qualify and what materials you'll need to apply. Also, keep checking scholarship databases as they keep updating with new scholarships periodically. Good luck!
