I've been applying to the scholarships my school recommends, but I'm wondering where else to look for more opportunities. Are there any websites or organizations you suggest exploring for more college scholarships?
There are many places to look for scholarships outside of your school's offerings. Here are a few resources you might find helpful:
1. Appily: This platform not only helps you find colleges but also offers a scholarship tool where you can search for scholarships based on your grade level, GPA, and different interests.
2. Scholarship.com: This site allows you to search for scholarships based on your academic interests, extracurricular activities, and other demographic information.
3. Fastweb: Fastweb is another large scholarship directory. You create a profile and the site matches you to potential scholarships.
4. Local Scholarships: Don't overlook these! Local businesses, organizations, and even government offices often offer scholarships. These tend to have less competition since they're only open to local students.
5. Your chosen college's financial aid office: Once you've been accepted into a college, their financial aid office is a great resource. They can share scholarships that are specific to the school or even your major.
Remember, you should never have to pay to apply for a scholarship and you should always read the fine print to make sure the scholarship is legitimate. Keep applying consistently and remember, every little bit helps!
