Scholarships available for college juniors?

I'm a college junior looking for scholarships to help cover my upcoming expenses. Anyone know of scholarships specifically targeting upperclassmen? Success stories or useful websites would be really appreciated!

Sure, finding scholarships as an upperclassman can be a bit more challenging as many scholarships are primarily for incoming freshman. However, there are still quite a bit available!

One substantial scholarship for college juniors is the Beinecke Scholarship, which provides funding to support students with demonstrated financial need who want to pursue research-based graduate programs in the arts, humanities, or social sciences.

Another one worth mentioning is the Goldwater Scholarship, the most prestigious undergraduate award available for STEM students. College juniors pursuing a degree in math, natural sciences, or engineering may be eligible for this scholarship depending on their academic and research accomplishments.

The Harry S. Truman Scholarship is also open to juniors who plan to attend graduate school with a focus on serving their community. It's a competitive scholarship, but the payoff is significant if you get it.

Additionally, Appily's (formerly known as Cappex) site is a useful resource for finding scholarships. You can tailor your search by your current educational level. Many universities and colleges also have scholarships available exclusively for their own students, so it's worth checking your financial aid office or department for opportunities.

When looking for scholarships, I would also suggest considering those specific to your field of study or related to organizations you're involved with. They might have fewer applicants, which could increase your chances.

Remember, every bit of scholarship money counts, so don't overlook the smaller awards. They can add up!

Good luck with your search!
