Hi community! I stumbled upon a scholarship on Niche and I want to apply but I'm a little skeptical. Has anyone here ever won or know someone who's won a Niche Scholarship? Is it legit? Your help will really put me at ease here!
Sure, I can reassure you that the scholarships listed on Niche are generally legitimate and not scams. Niche is a well-known platform that provides students with an array of information about various schools, scholarships, and majors. They have a variety of scholarships available for different students, so there's quite a bit of opportunity there.
However, do keep in mind that Niche scholarships, like any other, are usually pretty competitive due to the sheer number of students who have access to and apply for them. Therefore, even if you meet the requirements and submit your application, your chances of winning could still be somewhat low – not because it's not legitimate, but simply because so many students apply.
So, by all means, apply for the scholarships on Niche that match your profile, but also be sure to explore other sources like your school's financial aid office, local organizations, or other online platforms including CollegeVine. Just remember to never pay to apply for a scholarship – legitimate scholarships should not require applicants to pay a fee.
And as always, keep your personal information secure - don’t give out extra personal details beyond what’s required for the scholarship application.
