As I'm applying to colleges, I want to explore scholarship opportunities. What are some trustworthy scholarship search engines or tools that can help me find relevant scholarships efficiently?
For the scholarship search, there are quite a few resources that you could use.
Firstly, Fastweb is a free scholarship search engine that indexes scholarships from organizations around the country. You can create a profile and input your details, then it will match you to scholarships that you are potentially eligible for based on the information you provided.
Next is Scholarship.com, which, like Fastweb, matches scholarships with your profile. It's one of the largest databases of scholarships online and is updated daily.
Also, remember that many colleges offer their own institutional scholarships, so be sure to explore those on your colleges' financial aid pages. This can sometimes be an overlooked source of funding.
Lastly, be sure to use Appily, previously known as Cappex. It not only provides a college search tool but also has a scholarship search feature. It's free to use and can help you find additional scholarships not listed on other sites.
Remember, most scholarships require an application and sometimes an essay or other demonstration of your skills or experiences. Ensure you meet all their eligibility requirements before putting time into an application. Good luck in your search!
