Hey there, anyone here know any good full ride scholarships that high school juniors can apply for? I'm trying to get a jump start on my scholarship applications and any help would be deeply appreciated.
Absolutely, starting early in your scholarship search is a wise move. While many full-ride scholarships are typically available for high school seniors, there are quite a few opportunities available for juniors as well.
1. The Coolidge Scholarship: This is a highly competitive full-ride, merit scholarship awarded to high-performing high school juniors. It covers a student's tuition, room, board, and expenses for four years of undergraduate study at any accredited U.S. college or university.
2. QuestBridge College Prep Scholarship: The program offers awards that can significantly reduce or eliminate college costs. While it’s not open to all students—only those with a parent income under $65,000 usually qualify—it can provide significant financial assistance.
3. The Horatio Alger State Scholarships: These scholarships are targeted toward students who have demonstrated a commitment to pursue and complete a bachelor's degree at an accredited institution in the United States. Recipients receive up to $10,000.
Remember, local and state-level organizations often offer scholarships as well, so consider checking out opportunities in your community. Best of luck in your search!
