Scholarships for college students active on campus

I'm really involved in extracurricular activities on my campus and was wondering if there are specific scholarships for college students who do a lot on campus. Are there any programs that offer financial aid for being active in student life?

Absolutely, there are many scholarships out there that reward students who are active leaders and participants in their campus communities.

Scholarship deadlines and requirements vary quite a bit, but here are some examples you can look into. Always remember to research the most recent criteria and deadlines since those can change year-to-year:

- The Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award is available at select colleges in the Southeast U.S. This award is for individuals who demonstrate notable character, integrity, and service to others.

- The Davis-Putter Scholarship Fund provides financial aid to students active in social and economic justice movements.

- The Jenzabar Foundation's Student Leadership Awards recognize students who "have made a significant difference to their campus or local communities."

Remember to always look into your own college's specific scholarships as well. Universities often have funds dedicated to active and involved students. You can check with your financial aid office or your school's scholarship center, if you have one.

One additional resource would be Appily, where you can find scholarships that match your specific interests and activities.

Overall, it's fantastic that you're so active on campus, and there are definitely scholarships designed to support students like you. Keep up the good work and the quest for scholarship opportunities!
