Hey everyone! I'm trying to find the best websites for college scholarships as a junior planning for the next year. Any recommendations for sites that offer a good variety of opportunities for high school students like us?
There are a multitude of scholarship websites that offer a wealth of opportunities for high school students. Here are a few of them:
1. FastWeb: FastWeb is one of the largest scholarship databases available and matches you with scholarships based on your profile details.
2. Scholarship.com: It's another large scholarship database where you can search by category or keyword to find scholarships that match your interests.
3. Appily: Appily is a college search and scholarship tool that factors your college preferences and academic profile to find scholarships for you.
4. College Board Scholarship Search: This tool from the same organization that administers the SAT allows you to search for scholarships, financial aid, and internships from more than 2,200 programs, totaling nearly $6 billion.
5. Chegg Scholarships: Chegg started as a textbook sales and rental platform, but it has branched out to offer a scholarship search tool as well.
6. Peterson's: Peterson’s is an all-in-one guide to colleges, tests, and scholarships, offering a large database of scholarships.
7. CareerOneStop: CareerOneStop's Scholarship Finder is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor and allows you to search thousands of scholarships.
Remember to be wary of any scholarship that seems too easy, or those that have you pay a fee to be considered. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Good luck with your scholarship search!
