How many people apply each year for College Board scholarships?

I'm considering applying for some scholarships through the College Board, but I'm curious how competitive it is. Does anyone have any info on how many students usually apply?

The College Board doesn't provide the exact number of students who apply for their scholarships each year, perhaps due to differing participation rates each year or to maintain privacy. Nevertheless, considering the fact that the College Board connects students to millions of scholarships worth billions of dollars, it's safe to assume that the scholarships are somewhat competitive.

However, don't let the potential competitiveness of a scholarship discourage you from applying. Each scholarship may have its own qualifications, and the pool of eligible students can vary greatly depending on the specific criteria. Remember that many students may not apply compared to the number eligible because they may think they won't win or they may not know about the specific scholarship.

Your best course of action is to carefully review each scholarship's eligibility requirements and guidelines, tailoring your application specifically to those criteria. Remember, you won't get any scholarships you don't apply for, so it's worth taking the time to apply!
