I've heard rumors that there's a scholarship out there for twins, which could really help me and my sibling with college costs. Does anyone know if a twin scholarship actually exists?
While there aren't many widespread national scholarships specifically for twins, there are a few out there, and some colleges do offer discounts or scholarships for twins.
What I will say is that although opportunities specifically for twins aren't as extensive as traditional merit and need-based scholarships, they do exist. It's absolutely worth investigating these options and possibly reach out to the financial aid offices at the colleges you are interested in to ask about potential opportunities. Be prepared, though, to cast a wider net for scholarship applications beyond just 'twin-specific' awards. There are a multitude of scholarships based on academic achievement, community service, leadership, ethnicity, geographical area, desired major, and myriad other factors. A thorough scholarship search can yield a lot of results, not just for twins!
