Any tips on where to find college scholarships on Reddit?

I'm on the hunt for college scholarships and heard Reddit might have some good resources. Does anyone know which subreddits I should check out, or how I can find scholarship info specifically for someone like me?

Absolutely, Reddit could indeed be a beneficial resource for you in your hunt for scholarships. Here are a few subreddits to get you started:

1. r/scholarships: This is the most obvious one. It's a community dedicated to discussing various scholarships that are currently the most relevant. You can also seek advice here on your applications.

2. r/applyingtocollege: This subreddit is primarily for advice on the college application process, but there are often tangential discussions about scholarships.

3. r/college: Another general community for all things related to college, but a quick search for "scholarships" within the subreddit can reveal many helpful threads.

Make sure to use the 'search' function in these subreddits to find past threads that might be relevant to your situation. Be as specific as possible in your search; for instance, include your field of interest or other distinctive factors.

While Reddit can surface some hidden gems, don't forget to check out a variety of other resources too. Scholarship databases like Appily or the U.S. Department of Labor's Scholarship Finder are great places to find scholarships. You could also check with your high school's guidance counselor for local scholarships or those targeted specifically at your school's students. And don't forget to check if the colleges themselves offer scholarships or grants that you may qualify for.

Remember that applying for scholarships can be a numbers game, so don't get discouraged if you don't get the first one you apply for. Keep applying to as many as you can that match your skills and interests. Good luck with your search!
