Are there any scholarships for C students?

My GPA isn't as high as I would like, but I'm motivated and want to go to college. Does anyone know of scholarships that don't have really high GPA requirements? Looking for something for C students.

Absolutely, there are scholarships available that aren't solely based on a high GPA. Many scholarship committees recognize that there's more to a student than their academic performance and consider other factors such as community involvement, leadership roles, extracurricular activities, or unique skills and talents.

For instance, the Horatio Alger Association offers scholarships to high school juniors who have overcome significant obstacles in life. The students must demonstrate financial need, but the GPA qualification is around 2.0.

Similarly, the Burger King Scholars Program is aimed at high school seniors who have a strong work ethic, despite not having top grades. The scholarship range is between $1,000 and $60,000 and the minimum GPA requirement is 2.5.

Another example is the Doodle for Google contest where students from kindergarten to 12th grade can win up to $55,000 in scholarship money by submitting an original piece of artwork. This scholarship values creativity and originality rather than a student's GPA.

When it comes to local scholarships, check with your guidance office, local businesses, or community groups as they may have scholarships that value community involvement over academic achievement.

Please remember that even though these scholarships may be less competitive in terms of GPA, they still require a significant amount of effort and dedication. Also, it's important to verify the requirements carefully as they may vary year by year. Good luck!
