Where can I find scholarships for college males?

So I'm a male high school student starting my college search, and I'm curious if there are scholarships specifically for male students. Are there certain organizations or resources that focus on this? Any info would be appreciated.

Yes, there are indeed scholarships that are specifically designed for male students. While many scholarships are gender-neutral, there are some that specifically target male students in an effort to promote certain fields of study or extracurricular activities.

For example, the Balanced Man Scholarship is awarded by the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity to male students enrolling in universities with a Sigma Phi Epsilon chapter. They seek to reward men who have excelled in areas such as personal health and well-being, leadership skills, and commitment to service.

The MISTER Program (Mentors Instructing Students Toward Effective Role Models), which targets Black men entering the teaching profession, offers scholarships at many universities in South Carolina and Georgia.

Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity offers a scholarship called the UIFI Scholarship, which covers the cost of attending the Undergraduate Interfraternity Institute—a five-day program to develop leadership and organizational skills for fraternity or sorority members.

In terms of looking for more scholarships, check out scholarship databases like Appily or Fastweb, which help you find scholarships based on your unique characteristics and interests. You should also be proactive in asking your school counselor, as they often have a wealth of information about local and regional scholarships that you could potentially apply for.

Remember, the most successful scholarship applicants apply to a mix of scholarships—both those that are highly competitive and those that are less well-known. So cast a wide net and good luck in your search!
