Ah, college tuition 😅 I'm trying to find some full ride scholarships to apply for, but I'm not sure where to start. Any suggestions for websites or resources where I can find a solid list of full ride scholarships? Thanks y'all!

Finding full ride scholarships can definitely be a bit overwhelming, but you're on the right track by seeking resources to help you. Here are a few resources where you can discover a variety of full ride scholarships:

1. CollegeVine: They not only have a great blog with information on full ride scholarships but they also offer their CollegeVine College Application Guidance Program that helps students like you with scholarship searches. Read here: https://blog.collegevine.com/50-colleges-with-full-ride-scholarships/. Although make sure to double check with other resources as schools in this list may no longer offer these scholarships.

2. Fastweb: This website is a popular resource for college-bound students searching for scholarships, including full rides. You can create a profile and fill in your details, which Fastweb will use to connect you with scholarships that fit your criteria.

3. Cappex: Another website that provides a similar service to Fastweb, where you can create a comprehensive profile, access personalized scholarship lists, and apply for various full ride scholarships.

4. Scholarships.com: This website holds a vast database of scholarships, and students can create a profile to receive personalized scholarship suggestions based on their interests and academic profiles, including full rides.

5. Your school's guidance office or financial aid office: They might have information about local or school-specific full ride scholarships that you could apply for. Be sure to check with them to get access to scholarships with potentially less competition.

Don't forget about full ride merit-based scholarships offered by the colleges you are applying to as well. Each school will have its process and criteria for awarding full rides, so research the financial aid pages of your prospective colleges for more information.

Remember that securing a full ride scholarship can be quite competitive, so it's essential to also apply for smaller scholarships to increase your chances of receiving aid. Good luck in your search!
