Where to find random scholarships for college?

I'm trying to broaden my scholarship search since college is so expensive. Does anyone have suggestions on where to find a list of random scholarships for college? Any advice on where to look would be super helpful!

There are various sources where you can find scholarships to help fund your college education. One of them is Appily, a college match and scholarship search site that can help you discover scholarships you might not have considered.

Another great place to find scholarships is your high school's guidance office. They often have a list of local scholarships that can be less competitive due to their limited geographic range.

Also, reach out to the financial aid offices at the colleges you are applying to. They can point you to scholarships specific to the institution or your field of study, which again might be less competitive because they can only be won by students attending that particular school.

Remember, while you're looking for scholarships, it's important to avoid scams: you should never have to pay to access scholarship information or apply for a scholarship.

Start your scholarship search early, and consider all relevant factors like your academic merits, extracurricular activities, community service, and even personal passions or hobbies which can lead to small, niche scholarships that can really add up. Good luck with your search!
