Where's the best place to find college scholarships?

I'm starting to sort out my college funding and am wondering where you guys look for scholarships. Are there websites or resources that you find especially helpful for uncovering good scholarship opportunities?

There are several online platforms where you can search for scholarships. Appily is one stand-out option; it's a free scholarship search tool that collects lots of opportunities in one place, so you can easily find ones that are a good fit for you. It even offers a "What are my chances?" feature that estimates your likelihood of winning each scholarship based on your profile.

Another option is Fastweb. It's another free database of scholarships that matches you to opportunities based on a profile you set up when you register. Fastweb has both large and small scholarships, as well as many niche scholarships.

Scholarships.com is also a great resource. Just like Fastweb and Appily, you create a profile and are then matched with scholarships that you’re eligible for, and also has an easy-to-use interface.

Keep in mind that in addition to these online resources, you may also find scholarship opportunities through local businesses, organizations, and your school's guidance counselor's office.

Another strategy is to look for scholarships directly on college websites. Sometimes, the largest scholarships a student can receive are ones offered directly by a college to their admitted students. Be sure to check each college's website for merit scholarships, departmental scholarships, and special programs.

Just remember, when applying for scholarships, beware of scams. You should never have to pay money to apply for scholarships. Good luck!
