Best scholarship websites for college students?

Does anyone have recommendations for the best websites to search for college scholarships? I'm a bit overwhelmed by the options and would love some guidance on where to find reliable lists of scholarships.

a year ago

There's indeed a wealth of websites out there for finding college scholarships, but here are a few trusted ones that you might find useful:

1. Fastweb: This is a widely-used website that offers a massive database of scholarships. After setting up your profile, you're matched with scholarships based on your accomplishments, experiences, interests, and much more.

2. Scholarships.com: It's similar to Fastweb in terms of operation. After registering and filling out a profile about your skills and interests, the site presents you with a list of matching scholarships. It's straightforward to navigate and offers thousands of scholarship opportunities.

3. Chegg Scholarships: Along with textbooks and tutoring, Chegg also has a platform exclusively devoted to scholarships. It includes a diverse array of scholarships and you can apply filters to narrow down your search.

4. Appily: Formerly known as Cappex, this platform provides a solid database of scholarships, along with a comprehensive college search and college comparison tool.

5. College Board's Scholarship Search: The organization that administers the SAT also offers an expansive and trusted scholarship database.

Each of these platforms require you to create a profile, and then they will match you with scholarships that align with your information. Additionally, don't overlook your prospective college's financial aid office as a resource for scholarships. Many institutions offer merit-based scholarships that aren't widely advertised.

Lastly, remember to start your scholarship search early and be proactive. The earlier you apply, the better! Happy scholarship hunting!
