Tips for Getting Scholarships
-
Start with the colleges that you are applying to
Most scholarship money earned by students comes from colleges and you can usually apply for scholarships while you are applying for admission. Don’t miss the deadlines!
-
Think local
Local organizations and businesses have less students applying for their scholarships. They may be for smaller amounts of money, but you have a better chance of getting them!
-
Be specific
Think about what makes you different from most students and find scholarships that are specific to you. Your heritage? Your desired major or career goals? Your personal characteristics? Your skills? (Academic, leadership, musical, athletic, etc.) Your life experiences?
