How do I find out about college-specific scholarships?

Hello! I'm a junior and I'm starting to look into scholarships for college. I know that some colleges offer their own scholarships, but I'm not sure how to find out about these opportunities. Can anyone recommend some resources or tips for researching college-specific scholarships? Thanks in advance!

Hey there! It's great that you're already looking into scholarships as a junior. College-specific scholarships can definitely help lighten the financial burden. In my experience, the best place to start is by visiting each college's financial aid website. Usually, you'll find information about the scholarships they offer, the eligibility criteria, and how to apply. You can also search their sites for 'merit' or 'need-based' scholarships, as those are common categories. Additionally, it's a good idea to reach out to the college's financial aid office if you have any questions or need more information. They can be really helpful and point you in the right direction. Don't forget to look into local scholarships as well, since there may be some awarded specifically to students from your area. Keep track of scholarship deadlines and make a checklist, so you don't miss out on any opportunities. Best of luck with your search!
