Can anyone help me find scholarships for me ?

I would say I come from a low income family, I really enjoy creating art. I would love to major in Graphic Design, one of the main things that I'm having trouble with is finding scholarships that are legit.

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!
