Where can I find a list of college scholarships for high school juniors?

I'm a high school junior trying to plan ahead for college. Are there any resources or databases that specifically list scholarships available for juniors like me? Any tips or advice on where to start would be great!

There are a few places where you might find a detailed list of scholarships for high school juniors:

1. School Guidance Office: Your school's guidance office could be a treasure trove of information. They may be able to provide you with a list of local and regional scholarships that you may not find on larger databases.

2. Online Search Platforms: There are several online search platforms, such as Appily, Scholarships.com, and Fastweb, that allow you to create a free profile and match you to scholarships based on your specific eligibility criteria. These sites have thousands of scholarships in their databases.

3. Local Community Foundations: These often give scholarships based on regional or school district boundaries. Search online for resources in your community or check out the websites of nearby foundations.

4. College Websites: Colleges often outline scholarships they offer on their financial aid pages. If you have a list of universities you're considering, it's worthwhile to check their websites for potential opportunities.

5. Professional Associations: Depending on your career interest, there might be professional organizations that offer scholarships to students interested in that field.

6. Other Community Organizations: Check out organizations and clubs in your community, such as Rotary Clubs, YMCA, and local businesses. They sometimes have scholarship programs.

Remember, while searching for scholarships may seem like a lot of work, this is money for college that you do not need to pay back. More effort now can translate into less student loan debt later. Be sure to meet all deadlines and complete the entire application to maximize your potential for earning scholarships.
