I'm a high school junior and starting to think about college scholarships. What are some effective websites where I can find scholarships for college students? I'm looking for resources that might offer free search services and have a good range of options.
Certainly! There are quite a few handy websites for scholarship hunting out there. Let's go through some of them.
Firstly, CollegeBoard's Scholarship Search tool has a large database of scholarships that it matches to your profile.
Another resource to look for scholarships is Fastweb. Fastweb is a free online scholarship matcher that pairs you with scholarships based on your qualifications, interests, and personal details.
Scholarships.com is renowned for its expansive scholarship database. On this site, you'll find millions of scholarships worth billions of dollars, searchable by type, location, program, etc.
Chegg Scholarships is another good option. They have a simple interface and let you create a personalized profile to match you with applicable scholarships.
CollegeVine also provides some valuable advice on scholarships and financial aid, although it doesn't have a scholarship search engine.
Just be cautious about scholarships requiring fees to apply or "guaranteeing" a scholarship - these are usually scams. Good luck with your scholarship search!
