Any outside scholarships available for current college students?

I've been browsing for outside scholarships but many seem to be for incoming freshmen. Are there specific scholarships that focus on current students like myself, especially in the later years of college?

Absolutely, quite a few scholarships are targeted specifically at students already in college. Here's an overview of some you might consider:

1. Scholarships.com Undergraduate Scholarship: This is an annual scholarship that is available to all undergraduate students, not just freshmen.

2. AfterCollege Scholarships: AfterCollege is a platform that offers various scholarships to current college students. They have a selection of field-specific scholarships that might be relevant to your major.

3. Appily Scholarship Directory: Appily has a vast library of scholarships, many of which are for upperclassmen. You'll find many scholarships that are available exclusively to juniors, seniors, and graduate students.

4. Chegg Scholarships: On Chegg, you can find multiple scholarships tailored to current college students across different years and fields.

5. FastWeb: Another good resource is FastWeb, which gives you personalized scholarship matches after you enter your details. You can specify that you're a current college student to get relevant results.

Always remember that each scholarship will have varying requirements, from GPA to specific essays, and different deadlines that you'll need to track carefully. Moreover, some scholarships might be available only for students in certain majors or with certain career aspirations. It's always worthwhile to spend some time doing a thorough scholarship search and apply to as many as possible. It might appear time-consuming, but remember that the potential payoff is huge. Good luck!
