What are the best websites to find scholarships?
Answered

Hello! I'm trying to widen my scholarship reach as far as possible, so I was wondering if there were any other websites you guys suggest for scholarships for a high school senior applying as a freshman?

I personally like scholarship owl but I have heard others like niche and others.

I don't know any specific websites but if you just google, "first generation college scholarships" or whatever scholarship your looking for a bunch will pop up and you can apply to them. If they ask you to pay or anything like that don't do them!!!

Also Naviance and college board have a national scholarship search on it so you could start there.

You can go to College board and they have a list of scholarships you can apply too. You can also go to scholarships.com

Heya, I'm a senior in high school too, and the websites I've been using are Scholarship 360 and Cappex. The best thing about 360 is that it asks for a good deal of info about you, such as your major and interests, and it'll give you scholarships catered towards that. I'm a STEM major (Mechanical Engineering) and it has given me a good deal of scholarships that are built around engineering. It'll even take into account if you're a first-generation college student, as well as some other details. Cappex is also good because it is entirely free, as well as 360. I haven't used Cappex as much because applying through them is difficult, but it's a great search engine for scholarships.

Hopefully this helps!
