Can anyone help me find scholarships for me ?

Hi there!

Some great websites to use are Going Merry, Bold.org, Scholarships.com. Those are my favorites because I can find smaller niche scholarships that are less competitive. The bigger the scholarship, the more competitive. I have used Fastweb, Niche, Collegexpress, and other websites like that, but they have less options and more competition. I have also checked out RaiseMe which has a system of "microscholarships." Basically, for accomplishments like getting an A in a class, some schools will offer you a certain amount of money annually. I didn't use it because the university I plan to attend is not on RaiseMe, and I have heard you should hold the microscholarship offer lightly because there's no gurantee.

Tips: Apply to smaller scholarships and let them add up. Use scholarships as a chance to improve your essay writing skills. Eventually, you will have a storehouse of great essays addressing tons of common prompts. Just keep applying. Shoot for less competitive, less known scholarships. Write, write, write tons of essays. I have a document where I put links for scholarships I need to work on essays for each week (I am a senior and there's tons of oppportunities).

If you come from a low-income family, you have more options like FASFA and need-based scholarships. I don't qualify, so my suggestions are based on my personal experiences. Hope this helps!

A sport you can get a scholarship for is Lacrosse. If you're willing to commit they give out up to 15 scholarships a year. You can earn scholarships even if you join you're senior year.

There is apps like Bold.Org,Niche,or Scholarship Owl. With Bold,They provide different type of scholarships as well as a card for everytime you complete their tasks to apply for scholarships,you money is put on the card. The rules are:

1. Using the Card Without a Bank Account

You don’t need a bank account to use the Bold debit card. Any money available on the card is yours to spend, and it will remain on the card until you use it.

2. Trust and Security

Bold.org is a legitimate platform dedicated to helping students fund their education. Your trust and security are important to us. We use secure systems to protect your personal and financial information. If you ever have concerns or questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

3.Repaying Money on the Card

Any funds on the card, whether cashback rewards or transfers, are yours to keep. You won’t need to pay back the money provided to you.

4.Spending Guidelines

Scholarship winners can use their funds for qualified expenses such as tuition, fees, and course-related costs. However, if the funds are used for non-qualified expenses (like food, clothing, or personal items), they could be considered taxable by the IRS.

For Niche, Niche, as College Prowler, provided rankings, report cards (with attributed grades) and reviews of colleges in the US. During its rebranding process, Niche expanded its coverage to include K-12 schools as well as neighborhoods under their "places to live" category. In addition to its comprehensive profiles, Niche also lists scholarships from the company and third parties. Niche functions as a two-sided platform with free access for prospective students and over 15,000 school clients who pay for services to help them market to these users, including placing advertising and promotional material on the site. Niche also offers access to its data for a cost to other parties such as real estate companies, which has raised concerns that this linkage might reinforce neighborhood disparities based on ethnicity and income.

Lastly for Scholarship Owl, ScholarshipOwl is a remote only and technology company. Our mission is to make higher education accessible to students by making private scholarships a viable alternative to out-of-pocket expenses and student loans.

Our B2C products, ScholarshipOwl.com and ScholarshipOwl mobile, are scholarship platforms that dramatically speed up scholarship application time.

I hope this helps you and have a good year in college!
